01-14:1 And it came to pass in the days of
Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king
of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
01-14:2 That
these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and
with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king
of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
01-14:8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king
of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king
of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they
joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
01-14:9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king
of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and
Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
01-14:17 And the king
of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of
Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with
him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the
king’s dale.
01-14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
01-14:21 And the king
of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
01-14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD,
the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
01-20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife,
She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
01-26:1 And there was a famine in the land,
beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto
Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
01-26:8 And it came to pass, when he had
been there a long time, that Abimelech king of
the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
01-36:31 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there
reigned any king over the children of Israel.
01-40:1 And it came to pass after these
things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his
baker had offended their lord the king of
Egypt.
01-40:5 And they dreamed a dream both of
them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation
of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king
of Egypt, which were bound in the
prison.
01-41:46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence
of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
02-1:8 Now
there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew
not Joseph.
02-1:15 And
the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives,
of which the name of the one was Shiphrah,
and the name of the other Puah:
02-1:17 But
the midwives feared God, and did not as the king
of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
02-1:18 And
the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and
said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children
alive?
02-2:23 And
it came to pass in process of time, that the king
of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and
they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
02-3:18 And
they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of
Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say
unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we
beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to
the LORD our God.
02-3:19 And
I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let
you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
02-5:4 And
the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do
ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your
burdens.
02-6:11 Go
in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he
let the children of Israel go out of his land.
02-6:13 And
the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the
children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of
Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
02-6:27 These
are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel
from Egypt: these are that Moses and
Aaron.
02-6:29 That
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the
LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all
that I say unto thee.
02-14:5 And
it was told the king of Egypt that the people
fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the
people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from
serving us?
02-14:8 And
the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of
Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel
went out with an high hand.
04-20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh
unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother
Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
04-21:1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which
dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then
he fought against Israel, and took some of
them prisoners.
04-21:21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon
king of the Amorites, saying,
04-21:26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of
the Amorites, who had fought against the former king
of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
04-21:29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O
people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into
captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
04-21:33 And they turned and went up by the
way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went
out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
04-21:34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear
him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his
land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
04-22:4 And Moab said unto the elders of
Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that
are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak
the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
04-22:10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the
son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
04-23:7 And he took up his parable, and
said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me
from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
04-23:21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob,
neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among
them.
04-24:7 He shall pour the water out of his
buckets, and his seed shall be in
many waters, and his king shall be higher than
Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
04-32:33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the
children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the
kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the
kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the
cities thereof in the coasts, even the
cities of the country round about.
04-33:40 And king
Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of
the coming of the children of Israel.
05-1:4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og
the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in
Edrei:
05-2:24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and
pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the
Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to
possess it, and contend with him in
battle.
05-2:26 And I sent messengers out of the
wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of
Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
05-2:30 But Sihon king
of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his
spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand,
as appeareth this day.
05-3:1 Then we turned, and went up the way
to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out
against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
05-3:2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him
not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand;
and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king
of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
05-3:3 So the LORD our God delivered into
our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all
his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
05-3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as
we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly
destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
05-3:11 For only Og king
of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of
Ammon? nine cubits was the length
thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
05-4:46 On this side Jordan, in the valley
over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king
of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel
smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:
05-4:47 And they possessed his land, and the
land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the
Amorites, which were on this side
Jordan toward the sun rising;
05-7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and
because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the
LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of
bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
05-11:3 And his miracles, and his acts,
which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king
of Egypt, and unto all his land;
05-17:14 When thou art come unto the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell
therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over
me, like as all the nations that are about
me;
05-17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over
thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one
from among thy brethren shalt thou set king
over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
05-28:36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation
which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other
gods, wood and stone.
05-29:7 And when ye came unto this place,
Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and
we smote them:
05-33:5 And he was king
in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and
the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
06-2:2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in
hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.
06-2:3 And the king
of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee,
which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the
country.
06-6:2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See,
I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king
thereof, and the mighty men of
valour.
06-8:1 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear
not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise,
go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king
of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
06-8:2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof,
shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city
behind it.
06-8:14 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it,
that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out
against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before
the plain; but he wist not that there
were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
06-8:23 And the king
of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
06-8:29 And the king
of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down,
Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast
it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of
stones, that remaineth unto this day.
06-9:10 And all that he did to the two kings
of the Amorites, that were beyond
Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
06-10:1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec
king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken
Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace
with Israel, and were among them;
06-10:3 Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king
of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon,
saying,
06-10:5 Therefore the five kings of the
Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king
of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up,
they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
06-10:23 And they did so, and brought forth
those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king
of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king
of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
06-10:28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah,
and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king
thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
06-10:30 And the LORD delivered it also, and
the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and
he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it;
but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the
king of Jericho.
06-10:33 Then Horam king
of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he
had left him none remaining.
06-10:37 And they took it, and smote it with
the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and
all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had
done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
06-10:39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they
smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that
were therein; he left none remaining:
as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to
her king.
06-11:1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king
of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the
king of Achshaph,
06-11:10 And Joshua at that time turned back,
and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with
the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
06-12:2 Sihon king
of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and
ruled from Aroer, which is upon
the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half
Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which
is the border of the children of Ammon;
06-12:4 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which
was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
06-12:5 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in
Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the
Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king
of Heshbon.
06-12:9 The king
of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;
06-12:10 The king
of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;
06-12:11 The king
of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;
06-12:12 The king
of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;
06-12:13 The king
of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;
06-12:14 The king
of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;
06-12:15 The king
of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;
06-12:16 The king
of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;
06-12:17 The king
of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;
06-12:18 The king
of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;
06-12:19 The king
of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;
06-12:20 The king
of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;
06-12:21 The king
of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;
06-12:22 The king
of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel,
one;
06-12:23 The king
of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the
nations of Gilgal, one;
06-12:24 The king
of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.
06-13:10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto
the border of the children of Ammon;
06-13:21 And all the cities of the plain, and
all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites,
which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and
Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which
were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
06-13:27 And in the valley, Betharam, and
Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the
edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
06-13:30 And their coast was from Mahanaim,
all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of
Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are
in Bashan, threescore cities:
06-24:9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and
sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:
07-3:8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was
hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served
Chushanrishathaim eight years.
07-3:10 And the spirit of the LORD came upon
him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered
Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his
hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
07-3:12 And the children of Israel did evil
again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done
evil in the sight of the LORD.
07-3:14 So the children of Israel served
Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
07-3:15 But when the children of Israel
cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera,
a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present
unto Eglon the king of Moab.
07-3:17 And he brought the present unto
Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
07-3:19 But he himself turned again from the
quarries that were by Gilgal, and
said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king:
who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
07-4:2 And the LORD sold them into the
hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in
Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera,
which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
07-4:17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet
to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king
of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
07-4:23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the
king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
07-4:24 And the hand of the children of
Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king
of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king
of Canaan.
07-8:18 Then said he unto Zebah and
Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom
ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each
one resembled the children of a king.
07-9:6 And all the men of Shechem gathered
together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.
07-9:8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree,
Reign thou over us.
07-9:15 And the bramble said unto the trees,
If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of
the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
07-9:16 Now therefore, if ye have done truly
and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king,
and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according
to the deserving of his hands;
07-9:18 And ye are risen up against my
father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons,
upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)
07-11:12 And Jephthah sent messengers unto the
king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast
thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?
07-11:13 And the king
of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because
Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto
Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
07-11:14 And Jephthah sent messengers again
unto the king of the children of Ammon:
07-11:17 Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass
through thy land: but the king of Edom would not
hearken thereto. And in like manner
they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would
not consent: and Israel abode in
Kadesh.
07-11:19 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon
king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us
pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.
07-11:25 And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or
did he ever fight against them,
07-11:28 Howbeit the king
of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent
him.
07-17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
07-18:1 In those days there was no king in Israel: and in
those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for
unto that day all their inheritance
had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
07-19:1 And it came to pass in those days,
when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite
sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of
Bethlehemjudah.
07-21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every
man did that which was right in his
own eyes.
09-2:10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be
broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall
judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
09-8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art
old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king
to judge us like all the nations.
09-8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel,
when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And
Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
09-8:9 Now therefore hearken unto their
voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
09-8:10 And Samuel told all the words of the
LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
09-8:11 And he said, This will be the manner
of the king that shall reign over you: He will
take your sons, and appoint them for
himself, for his chariots, and to be his
horsemen; and some shall run before
his chariots.
09-8:18 And ye shall cry out in that day
because of your king which ye shall have chosen you;
and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
09-8:19 Nevertheless the people refused to
obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
09-8:20 That we also may be like all the
nations; and that our king may judge us, and go
out before us, and fight our battles.
09-8:22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken
unto their voice, and make them a king. And
Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
09-10:19 And ye have this day rejected your
God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations;
and ye have said unto him, Nay, but
set a king over us. Now therefore present
yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
09-10:24 And Samuel said to all the people,
See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there
is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and
said, God save the king.
09-11:15 And all the people went to Gilgal;
and there they made Saul king before the LORD in
Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the
LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
09-12:1 And Samuel said unto all Israel,
Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have
made a king over you.
09-12:2 And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded;
and, behold, my sons are with you:
and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
09-12:9 And when they forgat the LORD their
God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and
into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
09-12:12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye
said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over
us: when the LORD your God was your king.
09-12:13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
09-12:14 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve
him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD,
then shall both ye and also the king that
reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:
09-12:17 Is
it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send
thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the
sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
09-12:19 And all the people said unto Samuel,
Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added
unto all our sins this evil, to ask
us a king.
09-12:25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye
shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
09-15:1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD
sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore
hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
09-15:8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed
all the people with the edge of the sword.
09-15:11 It repenteth me that I have set up
Saul to be king:
for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my
commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
09-15:17 And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
09-15:20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have
obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and
have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have
utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
09-15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of
the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being
king.
09-15:26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not
return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD
hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
09-15:32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to
me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came
unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
09-15:35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul
until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD
repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
09-16:1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How
long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel?
fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite:
for I have provided me a king among his sons.
09-17:25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye
seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it
shall be, that the man who killeth
him, the king will enrich him with great riches,
and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
09-17:55 And when Saul saw David go forth
against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner,
whose son is this youth? And Abner
said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
09-17:56 And the king
said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is.
09-18:6 And it came to pass as they came,
when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women
came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with
instruments of musick.
09-18:18 And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my
father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?
09-18:22 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and
say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and
all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king’s son in law.
09-18:25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to
David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an
hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But
Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
09-18:27 Wherefore David arose and went, he
and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought
their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him
Michal his daughter to wife.
09-19:4 And Jonathan spake good of David
unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king
sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against
thee, and because his works have been to
thee-ward very good:
09-20:5 And David said unto Jonathan,
Behold, to morrow is the new moon,
and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat:
but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
09-20:24 So David hid himself in the field:
and when the new moon was come, the king sat him
down to eat meat.
09-20:25 And the king
sat upon his seat, as at other times, even
upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side,
and David’s place was empty.
09-21:2 And David said unto Ahimelech the
priest, The king hath commanded me a business,
and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I
send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
09-21:10 And David arose, and fled that day
for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of
Gath.
09-21:11 And the servants of Achish said unto
him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of
him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten
thousands?
09-21:12 And David laid up these words in his
heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of
Gath.
09-22:3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of
Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my
father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
09-22:4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while
that David was in the hold.
09-22:11 Then the king
sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s
house, the priests that were in Nob:
and they came all of them to the king.
09-22:14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king’s
son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
09-22:15 Did I then begin to enquire of God
for him? be it far from me: let not the king
impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for
thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
09-22:16 And the king
said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house.
09-22:17 And the king
said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the
LORD; because their hand also is with
David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the
servants of the king would not put forth their
hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
09-22:18 And the king
said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite
turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five
persons that did wear a linen ephod.
09-23:17 And he said unto him, Fear not: for
the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and
that also Saul my father knoweth.
09-23:20 Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy
soul to come down; and our part shall be to
deliver him into the king’s hand.
09-24:8 David also arose afterward, and went
out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped
with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
09-24:14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue?
after a dead dog, after a flea.
09-24:20 And now, behold, I know well that
thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom
of Israel shall be established in thine hand.
09-25:36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and,
behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was
very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the
morning light.
09-26:14 And David cried to the people, and to
Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered
and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
09-26:15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like
to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy
the king thy lord.
09-26:17 And Saul knew David’s voice, and
said, Is this thy voice, my son
David? And David said, It is my
voice, my lord, O king.
09-26:19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my
lord the king hear the words of his servant. If
the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have
driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go,
serve other gods.
09-26:20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall
to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king
of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the
mountains.
09-27:2 And David arose, and he passed over
with the six hundred men that were with
him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
09-28:13 And the king
said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto
Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
09-29:3 Then said the princes of the
Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes
of the Philistines, Is not this
David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel,
which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault
in him since he fell unto me unto
this day?
09-29:8 And David said unto Achish, But what
have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been
with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord
the king?
10-2:4 And the men of Judah came, and
there they anointed David king over the house of
Judah. And they told David, saying, That the
men of Jabeshgilead were they that
buried Saul.
10-2:7 Therefore now let your hands be
strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the
house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
10-2:9 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over
Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10-2:11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years
and six months.
10-3:3 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail
the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the
daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
10-3:17 And Abner had communication with the
elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king
over you:
10-3:21 And Abner said unto David, I will
arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that
thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner
away; and he went in peace.
10-3:23 When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab,
saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king,
and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
10-3:24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner
came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is
quite gone?
10-3:31 And David said to Joab, and to all
the people that were with him, Rend
your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself
followed the bier.
10-3:32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and
the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the
grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
10-3:33 And the king
lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?
10-3:36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever
the king did pleased all the people.
10-3:37 For all the people and all Israel
understood that day that it was not of the king
to slay Abner the son of Ner.
10-3:38 And the king
said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man
fallen this day in Israel?
10-3:39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king;
and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too
hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his
wickedness.
10-4:8 And they brought the head of
Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king,
Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy
life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king
this day of Saul, and of his seed.
10-5:2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest
in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and
thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
10-5:3 So all the elders of Israel came to
the king to Hebron; and king
David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed
David king over Israel.
10-5:6 And the king
and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land:
which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame,
thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.
10-5:11 And Hiram king
of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons:
and they built David an house.
10-5:12 And David perceived that the LORD
had established him king over Israel, and that
he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
10-5:17 But when the Philistines heard that
they had anointed David king over Israel, all
the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
10-6:12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of
Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto
him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God
from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
10-6:16 And as the ark of the LORD came into
the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and
she despised him in her heart.
10-6:20 Then David returned to bless his
household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said,
How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who
uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one
of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
10-7:1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest
round about from all his enemies;
10-7:2 That the king
said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the
ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
10-7:3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is
with thee.
10-7:18 Then went king
David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is
my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
10-8:3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son
of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover
his border at the river Euphrates.
10-8:5 And when the Syrians of Damascus
came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David
slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
10-8:8 And from Betah, and from Berothai,
cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding
much brass.
10-8:9 When Toi king
of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
10-8:10 Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he
had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi.
And Joram brought with him vessels of
silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
10-8:11 Which also king
David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had
dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
10-8:12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the
children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of
Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
10-9:2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him
unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
10-9:3 And the king
said, Is there not yet any of the
house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto
the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
10-9:4 And the king
said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba
said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of
Ammiel, in Lodebar.
10-9:5 Then king
David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from
Lodebar.
10-9:9 Then the king
called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s
son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10-9:11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant
do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the
king’s sons.
10-10:1 And it came to pass after this, that
the king of the children of Ammon died, and
Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
10-10:5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly
ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho
until your beards be grown, and then return.
10-10:6 And when the children of Ammon saw
that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians
of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve
thousand men.
10-11:8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to
thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and
there followed him a mess of meat from
the king.
10-11:19 And charged the messenger, saying,
When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
10-12:7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I
delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
10-13:6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself
sick: and when the king was come to see him,
Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar
my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at
her hand.
10-13:13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame
to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now
therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for
he will not withhold me from thee.
10-13:21 But when king
David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
10-13:24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath
sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and
his servants go with thy servant.
10-13:25 And the king
said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto
thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
10-13:26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray
thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king
said unto him, Why should he go with thee?
10-13:31 Then the king
arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood
by with their clothes rent.
10-13:33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all
the king’s sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
10-13:35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: as thy servant
said, so it is.
10-13:36 And it came to pass, as soon as he
had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up
their voice and wept: and the king also and all
his servants wept very sore.
10-13:37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai,
the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
10-13:39 And the soul of king David longed to go
forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
10-14:3 And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put
the words in her mouth.
10-14:4 And when the woman of Tekoah spake
to the king, she fell on her face to the ground,
and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
10-14:5 And the king
said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
10-14:8 And the king
said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
10-14:9 And the woman of Tekoah said unto
the king, My lord, O king,
the iniquity be on me, and on my
father’s house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
10-14:10 And the king
said, Whosoever saith ought unto
thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
10-14:11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not
suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son.
And he said, As the LORD liveth,
there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
10-14:12 Then the woman said, Let thine
handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word
unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
10-14:13 And the woman said, Wherefore then
hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in
that the king doth not fetch home again his
banished.
10-14:15 Now therefore that I am come to speak
of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me
afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king
will perform the request of his handmaid.
10-14:16 For the king
will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son
together out of the inheritance of God.
10-14:17 Then thine handmaid said, The word of
my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for
as an angel of God, so is my lord the
king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD
thy God will be with thee.
10-14:18 Then the king
answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that
I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king
now speak.
10-14:19 And the king
said, Is not the hand of Joab with
thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king,
none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me,
and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:
10-14:21 And the king
said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the
young man Absalom again.
10-14:22 And Joab fell to the ground on his
face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and
Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my
lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.
10-14:24 And the king
said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom
returned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face.
10-14:29 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to
have sent him to the king; but he would not come
to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
10-14:32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I
sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore
let me see the king’s face; and if there be any
iniquity in me, let him kill me.
10-14:33 So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom,
he came to the king, and bowed himself on his
face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
10-15:2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood
beside the way of the gate: and it was so,
that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and
said, Of what city art thou? And he
said, Thy servant is of one of the
tribes of Israel.
10-15:3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy
matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
10-15:6 And on this manner did Absalom to
all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so
Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
10-15:7 And it came to pass after forty
years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray
thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.
10-15:9 And the king
said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
10-15:15 And the king’s servants said unto the
king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king
shall appoint.
10-15:16 And the king
went forth, and all his household after him. And the king
left ten women, which were concubines,
to keep the house.
10-15:17 And the king
went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far
off.
10-15:18 And all his servants passed on beside
him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six
hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
10-15:19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return
to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
10-15:21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As
the LORD liveth, and as my lord
the king liveth, surely in what place my lord
the king shall be, whether in death or life,
even there also will thy servant be.
10-15:23 And all the country wept with a loud
voice, and all the people passed over: the king
also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over,
toward the way of the wilderness.
10-15:25 And the king
said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find
favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:
10-15:27 The king
said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou
a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son,
and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
10-15:34 But if thou return to the city, and
say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king;
as I have been thy father’s servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy
servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
10-16:2 And the king
said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king’s household to ride on;
and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that
such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
10-16:3 And the king
said, And where is thy master’s son?
And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at
Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom
of my father.
10-16:4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto
Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
10-16:5 And when king
David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house
of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the
son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
10-16:6 And he cast stones at David, and at
all the servants of king David: and all the
people and all the mighty men were on
his right hand and on his left.
10-16:9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah
unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my
lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and
take off his head.
10-16:10 And the king
said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because
the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast
thou done so?
10-16:14 And the king,
and all the people that were with
him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
10-16:16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the
Archite, David’s friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom,
God save the king, God save the king.
10-17:2 And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make
him afraid: and all the people that are with
him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
10-17:16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell
David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but
speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed
up, and all the people that are with
him.
10-17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by
Enrogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and
told them; and they went and told king David.
10-17:21 And it came to pass, after they were
departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass
quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.
10-18:2 And David sent forth a third part of
the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai
the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai
the Gittite. And the king said unto the people,
I will surely go forth with you myself also.
10-18:4 And the king
said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came
out by hundreds and by thousands.
10-18:5 And the king
commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
10-18:12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I
should receive a thousand shekels of
silver in mine hand, yet would I not
put forth mine hand against the king’s son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying,
Beware that none touch the young man
Absalom.
10-18:13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood
against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself
against me.
10-18:19 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok,
Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how
that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.
10-18:21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto
Joab, and ran.
10-18:25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king
said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he
came apace, and drew near.
10-18:26 And the watchman saw another man
running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
10-18:27 And the watchman said, Me thinketh
the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.
And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
10-18:28 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the
king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth
upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed
be the LORD thy God, which hath
delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
10-18:29 And the king
said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the
king’s servant, and me thy servant, I
saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it
was.
10-18:30 And the king
said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and
stood still.
10-18:31 And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi
said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD
hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
10-18:32 And the king
said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies
of my lord the king, and all that rise against
thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.
10-18:33 And the king
was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he
went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had
died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
10-19:1 And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
10-19:2 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the
people: for the people heard say that day how the king
was grieved for his son.
10-19:4 But the king
covered his face, and the king cried with a loud
voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
10-19:5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of
all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons
and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy
concubines;
10-19:8 Then the king
arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold,
the king doth sit in the gate. And all the
people came before the king: for Israel had fled
every man to his tent.
10-19:9 And all the people were at strife
throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king
saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of
the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
10-19:10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over
us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?
10-19:11 And king
David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders
of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king
back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to
his house.
10-19:12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my
bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?
10-19:14 And he bowed the heart of all the men
of Judah, even as the heart of one
man; so that they sent this word unto
the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.
10-19:15 So the king
returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king
over Jordan.
10-19:16 And Shimei the son of Gera, a
Benjamite, which was of Bahurim,
hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king
David.
10-19:17 And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the
servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with
him; and they went over Jordan before the king.
10-19:18 And there went over a ferry boat to
carry over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the
son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was
come over Jordan;
10-19:19 And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither
do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the
king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
10-19:20 For thy servant doth know that I have
sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of
Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
10-19:22 And David said, What have I to do
with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall
there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king
over Israel?
10-19:23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.
10-19:24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came
down to meet the king, and had neither dressed
his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace.
10-19:25 And it came to pass, when he was come
to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with
me, Mephibosheth?
10-19:26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I
will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.
10-19:27 And he hath slandered thy servant
unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as
an angel of God: do therefore what is good
in thine eyes.
10-19:28 For all of my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that
did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more
unto the king?
10-19:29 And the king
said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and
Ziba divide the land.
10-19:30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.
10-19:31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down
from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king,
to conduct him over Jordan.
10-19:32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had
provided the king of sustenance while he lay at
Mahanaim; for he was a very great
man.
10-19:33 And the king
said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in
Jerusalem.
10-19:34 And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up
with the king unto Jerusalem?
10-19:35 I am
this day fourscore years old: and can
I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I
drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women?
wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
10-19:36 Thy servant will go a little way over
Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
10-19:37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn
back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But
behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
10-19:38 And the king
answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall
seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
10-19:39 And all the people went over Jordan.
And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he
returned unto his own place.
10-19:40 Then the king
went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah
conducted the king, and also half the people of
Israel.
10-19:41 And, behold, all the men of Israel
came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen
thee away, and have brought the king, and his
household, and all David’s men with him, over Jordan?
10-19:42 And all the men of Judah answered the
men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be
ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift?
10-19:43 And the men of Israel answered the
men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king,
and we have also more right in David
than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in
bringing back our king? And the words of the men
of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
10-20:2 So every man of Israel went up from
after David, and followed Sheba the
son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king,
from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
10-20:3 And David came to his house at
Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep
the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they
were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
10-20:4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within
three days, and be thou here present.
10-20:21 The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by
name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only,
and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head
shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
10-20:22 Then the woman went unto all the
people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and
cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet,
and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to
Jerusalem unto the king.
10-21:2 And the king
called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but
of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them:
and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)
10-21:5 And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised
against us that we should be
destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,
10-21:6 Let seven men of his sons be
delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.
10-21:7 But the king
spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’S
oath that was between them, between
David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
10-21:8 But the king
took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul,
Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom
she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
10-21:14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan
his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of
Kish his father: and they performed all that the king
commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.
10-22:51 He
is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth
mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
10-24:2 For the king
said to Joab the captain of the host, which was
with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba,
and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
10-24:3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how
many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it:
but why doth my lord the king delight in
this thing?
10-24:4 Notwithstanding the king’s word
prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the
captains of the host went out from the presence of the king,
to number the people of Israel.
10-24:9 And Joab gave up the sum of the
number of the people unto the king: and there
were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the
men of Judah were five hundred
thousand men.
10-24:20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah
went out, and bowed himself before the king on
his face upon the ground.
10-24:21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my
lord the king come to his servant? And David
said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that
the plague may be stayed from the people.
10-24:22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my
lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and
threshing instruments and other instruments
of the oxen for wood.
10-24:23 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king.
And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God
accept thee.
10-24:24 And the king
said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the
LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the
threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
11-1:1 Now king
David was old and stricken in years;
and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
11-1:2 Wherefore his servants said unto
him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a
young virgin: and let her stand before the king,
and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.
11-1:3 So they sought for a fair damsel
throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and
brought her to the king.
11-1:4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king,
and ministered to him: but the king knew her
not.
11-1:5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted
himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared
him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
11-1:13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord,
O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying,
Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my
throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?
11-1:14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there
with the king, I also will come in after thee,
and confirm thy words.
11-1:15 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
11-1:16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did
obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
11-1:18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth;
and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:
11-1:19 And he hath slain oxen and fat
cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of
the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.
11-1:20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the
throne of my lord the king after him.
11-1:21 Otherwise it shall come to pass,
when my lord the king shall sleep with his
fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
11-1:22 And, lo, while she yet talked with
the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
11-1:23 And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he
was come in before the king, he bowed himself
before the king with his face to the ground.
11-1:24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me,
and he shall sit upon my throne?
11-1:25 For he is gone down this day, and
hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the
king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and,
behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
11-1:27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
11-1:28 Then king
David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king’s
presence, and stood before the king.
11-1:29 And the king
sware, and said, As the LORD liveth,
that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
11-1:31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence
to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
11-1:32 And king
David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the
son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
11-1:33 The king
also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon
my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
11-1:34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan
the prophet anoint him there king over Israel:
and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king
Solomon.
11-1:35 Then ye shall come up after him,
that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler
over Israel and over Judah.
11-1:36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada
answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God
of my lord the king say so too.
11-1:37 As the LORD hath been with my lord
the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make
his throne greater than the throne of my lord king
David.
11-1:38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the
prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites,
went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king
David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.
11-1:39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of
oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and
all the people said, God save king Solomon.
11-1:43 And Jonathan answered and said to
Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made
Solomon king.
11-1:44 And the king
hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the
son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused
him to ride upon the king’s mule:
11-1:45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the
prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and
they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.
11-1:47 And moreover the king’s servants
came to bless our lord king David, saying, God
make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than
thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the
bed.
11-1:48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be
the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.
11-1:51 And it was told Solomon, saying,
Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo,
he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to day that he will not
slay his servant with the sword.
11-1:53 So king
Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed
himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto
him, Go to thine house.
11-2:17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee,
unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee
nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
11-2:18 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will
speak for thee unto the king.
11-2:19 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her,
and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king’s mother;
and she sat on his right hand.
11-2:20 Then she said, I desire one small
petition of thee; I pray thee, say me
not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my
mother: for I will not say thee nay.
11-2:22 And king
Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the
Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and
for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
11-2:23 Then king
Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah
have not spoken this word against his own life.
11-2:25 And king
Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him
that he died.
11-2:26 And unto Abiathar the priest said
the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own
fields; for thou art worthy of death:
but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of
the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in
all wherein my father was afflicted.
11-2:29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of
the LORD; and, behold, he is by the
altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon
him.
11-2:30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle
of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king,
Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he
answered me.
11-2:31 And the king
said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou
mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the
house of my father.
11-2:35 And the king
put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest
did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
11-2:36 And the king
sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem,
and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
11-2:38 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is
good: as my lord the king hath said, so will
thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
11-2:39 And it came to pass at the end of
three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of
Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei,
saying, Behold, thy servants be in
Gath.
11-2:42 And the king
sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by
the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou
goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou
saidst unto me, The word that I have
heard is good.
11-2:44 The king
said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy
to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy
wickedness upon thine own head;
11-2:45 And king
Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne
of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
11-2:46 So the king
commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that
he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
11-3:1 And Solomon made affinity with
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s
daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of
building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem
round about.
11-3:4 And the king
went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was
the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon
that altar.
11-3:7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast
made thy servant king instead of David my
father: and I am but a little child:
I know not how to go out or come in.
11-3:16 Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
11-3:22 And the other woman said, Nay; but
the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the
dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.
11-3:23 Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
11-3:24 And the king
said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
11-3:25 And the king
said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the
other.
11-3:26 Then spake the woman whose the
living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she
said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the
other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
11-3:27 Then the king
answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
11-3:28 And all Israel heard of the judgment
which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.
11-4:1 So king
Solomon was king over all Israel.
11-4:7 And Solomon had twelve officers
over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king
and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.
11-4:19 Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was
in the land.
11-4:27 And those officers provided victual
for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon’s table, every man in his month: they
lacked nothing.
11-5:1 And Hiram king
of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed
him king in the room of his father: for Hiram
was ever a lover of David.
11-5:13 And king
Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
11-5:17 And the king
commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
11-6:2 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth
thereof twenty cubits, and the height
thereof thirty cubits.
11-7:13 And king
Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
11-7:14 He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and
he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in
brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought
all his work.
11-7:40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the
shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he
made king Solomon for the house of the LORD:
11-7:45 And the pots, and the shovels, and
the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king
Solomon for the house of the LORD, were
of bright brass.
11-7:46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and
Zarthan.
11-7:51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And
Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the
vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
11-8:1 Then Solomon assembled the elders
of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the
children of Israel, unto king Solomon in
Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the
city of David, which is Zion.
11-8:2 And all the men of Israel assembled
themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the
month Ethanim, which is the seventh
month.
11-8:5 And king
Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark,
sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
11-8:14 And the king
turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the
congregation of Israel stood;)
11-8:62 And the king,
and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
11-8:63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of
peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen,
and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king
and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
11-8:64 The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD for
there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace
offerings: because the brasen altar that was
before the LORD was too little to
receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace
offerings.
11-8:66 On the eighth day he sent the people
away: and they blessed the king, and went unto
their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had
done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
11-9:11 (Now
Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon
with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,)
that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities
in the land of Galilee.
11-9:14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
11-9:15 And this is the reason of the levy which king
Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo,
and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
11-9:16 For
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken
Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city,
and given it for a present unto his
daughter, Solomon’s wife.
11-9:26 And king
Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
11-9:28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched
from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king
Solomon.
11-10:3 And Solomon told her all her
questions: there was not any thing
hid from the king, which he told her not.
11-10:6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own
land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
11-10:9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which
delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved
Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to
do judgment and justice.
11-10:10 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of
spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance
of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king
Solomon.
11-10:12 And the king
made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s
house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees,
nor were seen unto this day.
11-10:13 And king
Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked,
beside that which Solomon gave her of
his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her
servants.
11-10:16 And king
Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten
gold: six hundred shekels of gold
went to one target.
11-10:17 And he made three hundred shields of
beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
11-10:18 Moreover the king
made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
11-10:21 And all king
Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold,
and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were
of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
11-10:22 For the king
had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came
the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and
peacocks.
11-10:23 So king
Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
11-10:26 And Solomon gathered together
chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and
twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with
the king at Jerusalem.
11-10:27 And the king
made silver to be in Jerusalem as
stones, and cedars made he to be as
the sycomore trees that are in the
vale, for abundance.
11-11:1 But king
Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women
of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
11-11:18 And they arose out of Midian, and
came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to
Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave
him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
11-11:23 And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of
Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king
of Zobah:
11-11:26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an
Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon’s servant, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he
lifted up his hand against the king.
11-11:27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his
hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of
David his father.
11-11:37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt
reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
11-11:40 Solomon sought therefore to kill
Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of
Solomon.
11-12:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for
all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
11-12:2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
11-12:6 And king
Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while
he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?
11-12:12 So Jeroboam and all the people came
to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had
appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
11-12:13 And the king
answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men’s counsel that they gave
him;
11-12:15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the
LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the
Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
11-12:16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse:
to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed
unto their tents.
11-12:18 Then king
Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over
the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot,
to flee to Jerusalem.
11-12:20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard
that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the
congregation, and made him king over all Israel:
there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
11-12:23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of
Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house
of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
11-12:27 If this people go up to do sacrifice
in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn
again unto their lord, even unto
Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me,
and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
11-12:28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to
Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of
Egypt.
11-13:4 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God,
which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from
the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against
him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.
11-13:6 And the king
answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy
God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God
besought the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
11-13:7 And the king
said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will
give thee a reward.
11-13:8 And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will
not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
11-13:11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in
Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had
done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
11-14:2 And Jeroboam said to his wife,
Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife
of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.
11-14:14 Moreover the LORD shall raise him up
a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house
of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
11-14:25 And it came to pass in the fifth year
of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up
against Jerusalem:
11-14:27 And king
Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door
of the king’s house.
11-14:28 And it was so, when the king went into the
house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the
guard chamber.
11-15:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over
Judah.
11-15:9 And in the twentieth year of
Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
11-15:16 And there was war between Asa and
Baasha king of Israel all their days.
11-15:17 And Baasha king
of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any
to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
11-15:18 Then Asa took all the silver and the
gold that were left in the treasures
of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered
them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa
sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
11-15:19 There
is a league between me and thee, and between
my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and
gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king
of Israel, that he may depart from me.
11-15:20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he
had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah,
and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
11-15:22 Then king
Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the
timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king
Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
11-15:25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began
to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king
of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
11-15:28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his
stead.
11-15:32 And there was war between Asa and
Baasha king of Israel all their days.
11-15:33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign
over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
11-16:8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign
over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
11-16:10 And Zimri went in and smote him, and
killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king
of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
11-16:15 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa
king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in
Tirzah. And the people were encamped
against Gibbethon, which belonged to
the Philistines.
11-16:16 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also
slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri,
the captain of the host, king over Israel that
day in the camp.
11-16:21 Then were the people of Israel
divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to
make him king; and half followed Omri.
11-16:23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve
years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
11-16:29 And in the thirty and eighth year of
Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to
reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria
twenty and two years.
11-16:31 And it came to pass, as if it had
been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king
of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
11-19:15 And the LORD said unto him, Go,
return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint
Hazael to be king
over Syria:
11-19:16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou
anoint to be king
over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
11-20:1 And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with
him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred
against it.
11-20:2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus
saith Benhadad,
11-20:4 And the king
of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king,
according to thy saying, I am thine,
and all that I have.
11-20:7 Then the king
of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and
see how this man seeketh mischief:
for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and
for my gold; and I denied him not.
11-20:9 Wherefore he said unto the
messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king,
All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this
thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
11-20:11 And the king
of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let
not him that girdeth on his harness boast
himself as he that putteth it off.
11-20:13 And, behold, there came a prophet
unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the
LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into
thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
11-20:20 And they slew every one his man: and
the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
11-20:21 And the king
of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians
with a great slaughter.
11-20:22 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen
thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
11-20:23 And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they
were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely
we shall be stronger than they.
11-20:28 And there came a man of God, and
spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus
saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is
not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude
into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am
the LORD.
11-20:31 And his servants said unto him,
Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee,
put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
11-20:32 So they girded sackcloth on their
loins, and put ropes on their heads,
and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy
servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
11-20:38 So the prophet departed, and waited
for the king by the way, and disguised himself
with ashes upon his face.
11-20:39 And as the king
passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said,
Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned
aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he
be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a
talent of silver.
11-20:40 And as thy servant was busy here and
there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said
unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
11-20:41 And he hasted, and took the ashes
away from his face; and the king of Israel
discerned him that he was of the
prophets.
11-20:43 And the king
of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
11-21:1 And it came to pass after these
things, that Naboth the Jezreelite
had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel,
hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
11-21:10 And set two men, sons of Belial,
before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and
the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11-21:13 And there came in two men, children
of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of
the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king.
Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that
he died.
11-21:18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in
the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
11-22:2 And it came to pass in the third
year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came
down to the king of Israel.
11-22:3 And the king
of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not
out of the hand of the king of Syria?
11-22:4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt
thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am
as thou art, my people as thy
people, my horses as thy horses.
11-22:5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of
the LORD to day.
11-22:6 Then the king
of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto
them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they
said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it
into the hand of the king.
11-22:8 And the king
of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is
yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD:
but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And
Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
11-22:9 Then the king
of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
11-22:10 And the king
of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat
each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance
of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11-22:13 And the messenger that was gone to
call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be
like the word of one of them, and speak that
which is good.
11-22:15 So he came to the king. And the king said
unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we
forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
11-22:16 And the king
said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but
that which is true in the name of the
LORD?
11-22:18 And the king
of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no
good concerning me, but evil?
11-22:26 And the king
of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the
city, and to Joash the king’s son;
11-22:27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow
in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of
affliction, until I come in peace.
11-22:29 So the king
of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went
up to Ramothgilead.
11-22:30 And the king
of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the
battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king
of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
11-22:31 But the king
of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots,
saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
11-22:32 And it came to pass, when the
captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king
of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried
out.
11-22:33 And it came to pass, when the
captains of the chariots perceived that it was
not the king of Israel, that they turned
back from pursuing him.
11-22:34 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness:
wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me
out of the host; for I am wounded.
11-22:35 And the battle increased that day:
and the king was stayed up in his chariot
against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into
the midst of the chariot.
11-22:37 So the king
died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king
in Samaria.
11-22:41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began
to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king
of Israel.
11-22:44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
11-22:47 There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
11-22:51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to
reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
12-1:3 But the angel of the LORD said to
Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because
there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of
Ekron?
12-1:6 And they said unto him, There came
a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the
LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to
enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from
that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
12-1:9 Then the king
sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and,
behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God,
the king hath said, Come down.
12-1:11 Again also he sent unto him another
captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of
God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
12-1:15 And the angel of the LORD said unto
Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down
with him unto the king.
12-1:17 So he died according to the word of
the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the
second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king
of Judah; because he had no son.
12-3:1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to
reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
12-3:4 And Mesha king
of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king
of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the
wool.
12-3:5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was
dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the
king of Israel.
12-3:6 And king
Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
12-3:7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat
the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go
with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my
people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.
12-3:9 So the king
of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven
days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that
followed them.
12-3:10 And the king
of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to
deliver them into the hand of Moab!
12-3:11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not
here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of
the king of Israel’s servants answered and said,
Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
12-3:12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the
LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and
Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to
him.
12-3:13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee
to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath
called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
12-3:14 And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts
liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of
Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look
toward thee, nor see thee.
12-3:26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with
him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
12-4:13 And he said unto him, Say now unto
her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be
done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king,
or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
12-5:1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of
the king of Syria, was a great man with his
master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto
Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
12-5:5 And the king
of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten
talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
12-5:6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come
unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou
mayest recover him of his leprosy.
12-5:7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his
clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send
unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and
see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
12-5:8 And it was so, when Elisha the man
of God had heard that the king of Israel had
rent his clothes, that he sent to the king,
saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he
shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
12-6:8 Then the king
of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In
such and such a place shall be my camp.
12-6:9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such
a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
12-6:10 And the king
of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of,
and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
12-6:11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he
called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for
the king of Israel?
12-6:12 And one of his servants said, None,
my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is
in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words
that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
12-6:21 And the king
of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them?
shall I smite them?
12-6:24 And it came to pass after this, that
Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host,
and went up, and besieged Samaria.
12-6:26 And as the king
of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying,
Help, my lord, O king.
12-6:28 And the king
said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me,
Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
12-6:30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his
clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he
had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
12-6:32 But Elisha sat in his house, and the
elders sat with him; and the king sent a man
from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See
ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the
messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the
sound of his master’s feet behind him?
12-7:2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold,
if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said,
Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
12-7:6 For the Lord had made the host of
the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise
of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king
of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the
Egyptians, to come upon us.
12-7:12 And the king
arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the
Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone
out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of
the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
12-7:14 They took therefore two chariot
horses; and the king sent after the host of the
Syrians, saying, Go and see.
12-7:15 And they went after them unto
Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the
Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the
king.
12-7:17 And the king
appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and
the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said,
who spake when the king came down to him.
12-7:18 And it came to pass as the man of
God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures
of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to
morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
12-8:3 And it came to pass at the seven
years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she
went forth to cry unto the king for her house
and for her land.
12-8:4 And the king
talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee,
all the great things that Elisha hath done.
12-8:5 And it came to pass, as he was telling
the king how he had restored a dead body to
life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said,
My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is
her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
12-8:6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying,
Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she
left the land, even until now.
12-8:7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and
Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was
told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
12-8:8 And the king
said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God,
and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
12-8:9 So Hazael went to meet him, and
took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’
burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I
recover of this disease?
12-8:13 And Hazael said, But what, is thy
servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The
LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over
Syria.
12-8:16 And in the fifth year of Joram the
son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being
then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of
Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
12-8:20 In his days Edom revolted from under
the hand of Judah, and made a king over
themselves.
12-8:25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son
of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of
Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
12-8:26 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah
when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s
name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of
Israel.
12-8:28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab
to the war against Hazael king of Syria in
Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
12-8:29 And king
Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had
given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king
of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of
Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
12-9:3 Then take the box of oil, and pour
it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and
tarry not.
12-9:6 And he arose, and went into the
house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king
over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
12-9:12 And they said, It is false; tell us
now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I
have anointed thee king over Israel.
12-9:13 Then they hasted, and took every man
his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with
trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
12-9:14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the
son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and
all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
12-9:15 But king
Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had
given him, when he fought with Hazael king of
Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape
out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.
12-9:16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went
to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king
of Judah was come down to see Joram.
12-9:18 So there went one on horseback to
meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it
peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And
the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
12-9:19 Then he sent out a second on
horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with
peace? turn thee behind me.
12-9:21 And Joram said, Make ready. And his
chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel
and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his
chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth
the Jezreelite.
12-9:27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the
garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the
chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he
fled to Megiddo, and died there.
12-10:5 And he that was over the house, and
he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the
children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou
shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou
that which is good in thine eyes.
12-10:13 Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah
king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they
answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children
of the king and the children of the queen.
12-11:2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of
Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons which were slain; and they
hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he
was not slain.
12-11:7 And two parts of all you that go
forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD
about the king.
12-11:8 And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his
hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with
the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
12-11:10 And to the captains over hundreds did
the priest give king David’s spears and shields,
that were in the temple of the LORD.
12-11:11 And the guard stood, every man with
his weapons in his hand, round about the king,
from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by
the altar and the temple.
12-11:12 And he brought forth the king’s son,
and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands,
and said, God save the king.
12-11:14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the
princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all
the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her
clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
12-11:17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between
the LORD and the king and the people, that they
should be the LORD’S people; between the king
also and the people.
12-11:19 And he took the rulers over hundreds,
and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they
brought down the king from the house of the
LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he
sat on the throne of the kings.
12-12:6 But it was so, that in the three and
twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had
not repaired the breaches of the house.
12-12:7 Then king
Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto
them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no
more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.
12-12:17 Then Hazael king
of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face
to go up to Jerusalem.
12-12:18 And Jehoash king
of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and
Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed
things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the
LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king
of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
12-13:1 In the three and twentieth year of
Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz
the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen
years.
12-13:3 And the anger of the LORD was
kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son
of Hazael, all their days.
12-13:4 And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and
the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
12-13:7 Neither did he leave of the people
to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for
the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had
made them like the dust by threshing.
12-13:10 In the thirty and seventh year of
Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of
Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.
12-13:12 And the rest of the acts of Joash,
and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel?
12-13:14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his
sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of
Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my
father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
12-13:16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he
put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands.
12-13:18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he
took them. And he said unto the king of Israel,
Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
12-13:22 But Hazael king
of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
12-13:24 So Hazael king
of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead.
12-14:1 In the second year of Joash son of
Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son
of Joash king of Judah.
12-14:5 And it came to pass, as soon as the
kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain
the king his father.
12-14:8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to
Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king
of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
12-14:9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the
cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and
there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
12-14:11 But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore
Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and
Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the
face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
12-14:13 And Jehoash king
of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of
Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake
down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four
hundred cubits.
12-14:15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash
which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel?
12-14:17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of
Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
12-14:21 And all the people of Judah took
Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king
instead of his father Amaziah.
12-14:22 He built Elath, and restored it to
Judah, after that the king slept with his
fathers.
12-14:23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the
son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of
Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria,
and reigned forty and one years.
12-15:1 In the twenty and seventh year of
Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of
Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
12-15:5 And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his
death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the
house, judging the people of the land.
12-15:8 In the thirty and eighth year of
Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of
Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
12-15:13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to
reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king
of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.
12-15:17 In the nine and thirtieth year of
Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of
Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.
12-15:19 And Pul the king
of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of
silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
12-15:20 And Menahem exacted the money of
Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of
silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in
the land.
12-15:23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to
reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.
12-15:27 In the two and fiftieth year of
Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah
began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.
12-15:29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah,
and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of
Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.
12-15:32 In the second year of Pekah the son
of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son
of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.
12-15:37 In those days the LORD began to send against
Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son
of Remaliah.
12-16:1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the
son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of
Judah began to reign.
12-16:5 Then Rezin king
of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of
Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not
overcome him.
12-16:6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the
Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.
12-16:7 So Ahaz sent messengers to
Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy
servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.
12-16:8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold
that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king’s
house, and sent it for a present to the king of
Assyria.
12-16:9 And the king
of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of
Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it
captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.
12-16:10 And king
Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king
of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king
Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it,
according to all the workmanship thereof.
12-16:11 And Urijah the priest built an altar
according to all that king Ahaz had sent from
Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king
Ahaz came from Damascus.
12-16:12 And when the king
was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar:
and the king approached to the altar, and
offered thereon.
12-16:15 And king
Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning
burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice,
and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land,
and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all
the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the
brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by.
12-16:16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according
to all that king Ahaz commanded.
12-16:17 And king
Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and
took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon
a pavement of stones.
12-16:18 And the covert for the sabbath that
they had built in the house, and the king’s entry without, turned he from the house
of the LORD for the king of Assyria.
12-17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in
Samaria over Israel nine years.
12-17:3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and
gave him presents.
12-17:4 And the king
of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year:
therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and
bound him in prison.
12-17:5 Then the king
of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and
besieged it three years.
12-17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away
into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and
in the cities of the Medes.
12-17:7 For so it was, that the children of
Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of
the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king
of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
12-17:21 For he rent Israel from the house of
David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king:
and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
12-17:24 And the king
of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from
Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead
of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities
thereof.
12-17:26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast
removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of
the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them,
because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
12-17:27 Then the king
of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought
from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner
of the God of the land.
12-18:1 Now it came to pass in the third
year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that
Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to
reign.
12-18:7 And the LORD was with him; and he
prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
12-18:9 And it came to pass in the fourth
year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh
year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that
Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against
Samaria, and besieged it.
12-18:10 And at the end of three years they
took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
12-18:11 And the king
of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in
Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
12-18:13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king
of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.
12-18:14 And Hezekiah king
of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish,
saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I
bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto
Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of
silver and thirty talents of gold.
12-18:16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the
gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which
Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it
to the king of Assyria.
12-18:17 And the king
of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And
they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and
stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s
field.
12-18:18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of
Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son
of Asaph the recorder.
12-18:19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak
ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king,
the king of Assyria, What confidence is this
wherein thou trustest?
12-18:21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the
staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go
into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king
of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
12-18:23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give
pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I
will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set
riders upon them.
12-18:28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a
loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great
king, the king of
Assyria:
12-18:29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not
be able to deliver you out of his hand:
12-18:30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust
in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not
be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
12-18:31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus
saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement
with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own
vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his
cistern:
12-18:33 Hath any of the gods of the nations
delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king
of Assyria?
12-19:1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and
covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
12-19:4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear
all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of
Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the
words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the
remnant that are left.
12-19:5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
12-19:6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus
shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words
which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king
of Assyria have blasphemed me.
12-19:8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the
king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he
had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
12-19:9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight
against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,
12-19:10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou
trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand
of the king of Assyria.
12-19:13 Where is the king
of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
12-19:20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to
Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast
prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria
I have heard.
12-19:32 Therefore thus saith the LORD
concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not
come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield,
nor cast a bank against it.
12-19:36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and
dwelt at Nineveh.
12-20:6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen
years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine
own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
12-20:12 At that time Berodachbaladan, the son
of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a
present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
12-20:14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men?
and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a
far country, even from Babylon.
12-20:18 And of thy sons that shall issue from
thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs
in the palace of the king of Babylon.
12-21:3 For he built up again the high
places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for
Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of
Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
12-21:11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath
done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath
made Judah also to sin with his idols:
12-21:23 And the servants of Amon conspired
against him, and slew the king in his own house.
12-21:24 And the people of the land slew all
them that had conspired against king Amon; and
the people of the land made Josiah his son king
in his stead.
12-22:3 And it came to pass in the
eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of
Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,
12-22:9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king
word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in
the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that
have the oversight of the house of the LORD.
12-22:10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a
book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
12-22:11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that
he rent his clothes.
12-22:12 And the king
commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son
of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king’s,
saying,
12-22:16 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will
bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the
words of the book which the king of Judah hath
read:
12-22:18 But to the king
of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus
saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
12-22:20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee
unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine
eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they
brought the king word again.
12-23:1 And the king
sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
12-23:2 And the king
went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the
inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all
the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of
the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
12-23:3 And the king
stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD,
and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all
their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were
written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
12-23:4 And the king
commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the
keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the
vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of
heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and
carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.
12-23:12 And the altars that were on the top
of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars
which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast
the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
12-23:13 And the high places that were before
Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which
Solomon the king of Israel had builded for
Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of
the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
12-23:21 And the king
commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as
it is written in the book of this covenant.
12-23:23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the
LORD in Jerusalem.
12-23:25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his
heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law
of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
12-23:29 In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at
Megiddo, when he had seen him.
12-23:30 And his servants carried him in a
chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his
own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and
anointed him, and made him king in his father’s
stead.
12-23:34 And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the
son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his
father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came
to Egypt, and died there.
12-24:1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his
servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
12-24:7 And the king
of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto
the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king
of Egypt.
12-24:10 At that time the servants of
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against
Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
12-24:11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his
servants did besiege it.
12-24:12 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king
of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his
officers: and the king of Babylon took him in
the eighth year of his reign.
12-24:13 And he carried out thence all the
treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and
cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king
of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
12-24:16 And all the men of might, even seven
thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for
war, even them the king of Babylon brought
captive to Babylon.
12-24:17 And the king
of Babylon made Mattaniah his father’s brother king
in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
12-24:20 For through the anger of the LORD it
came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his
presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king
of Babylon.
12-25:1 And it came to pass in the ninth year
of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all
his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it: and they built forts
against it round about.
12-25:2 And the city was besieged unto the
eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
12-25:4 And the city was broken up, and all
the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is
by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and
the king went the way toward the plain.
12-25:5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued
after the king, and overtook him in the plains of
Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
12-25:6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon
him.
12-25:8 And in the fifth month, on the
seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king
of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
12-25:11 Now the rest of the people that were
left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude,
did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
12-25:20 And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard
took these, and brought them to the king of
Babylon to Riblah:
12-25:21 And the king
of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah
was carried away out of their land.
12-25:22 And as for the people that remained
in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king
of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son
of Shaphan, ruler.
12-25:23 And when all the captains of the
armies, they and their men, heard that the king
of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael
the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of
Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and
their men.
12-25:24 And Gedaliah sware to them, and to
their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees:
dwell in the land, and serve the king of
Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
12-25:27 And it came to pass in the seven and
thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king
of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month,
that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year
that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
12-25:30 And his allowance was a continual
allowance given him of the king, a daily rate
for every day, all the days of his life.
13-1:43 Now these are the kings that reigned
in the land of Edom before any king reigned over
the children of Israel; Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was
Dinhabah.
13-3:2 The third, Absalom the son of
Maachah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur:
the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith:
13-4:23 These were the potters, and those
that dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for his work.
13-4:41 And these written by name came in
the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote
their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly
unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because there was pasture there for
their flocks.
13-5:6 Beerah his son, whom
Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away
captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
13-5:17 All these were reckoned by
genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah,
and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
13-5:26 And the God of Israel stirred up the
spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of
Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried
them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of
Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river
Gozan, unto this day.
13-11:2 And moreover in time past, even when
Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and
broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my
people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
13-11:3 Therefore came all the elders of
Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a
covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by
Samuel.
13-11:10 These also are the chief of the
mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom,
and with all Israel, to make him king, according
to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
13-12:31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh
eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
13-12:38 All these men of war, that could keep
rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel
were of one heart to make David king.
13-14:1 Now Hiram king
of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and
carpenters, to build him an house.
13-14:2 And David perceived that the LORD had
confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom
was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
13-14:8 And when the Philistines heard that
David was anointed king over all Israel, all the
Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against
them.
13-15:29 And it came to pass, as the ark of
the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of
Saul looking out at a window saw king David
dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
13-17:16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and
what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
13-18:3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his
dominion by the river Euphrates.
13-18:5 And when the Syrians of Damascus
came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew
of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
13-18:9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of
Hadarezer king of Zobah;
13-18:10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to
congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him;
(for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold
and silver and brass.
13-18:11 Them also king
David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought
from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of
Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
13-18:17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was
over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about
the king.
13-19:1 Now it came to pass after this, that
Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died,
and his son reigned in his stead.
13-19:5 Then there went certain, and told
David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were
greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at
Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
13-19:7 So they hired thirty and two
thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and
his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered
themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
13-20:2 And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent
of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s
head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
13-21:3 And Joab answered, The LORD make his
people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why then
doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
13-21:23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to
thee, and let my lord the king do that which is
good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the
threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it
all.
13-21:24 And king
David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I
will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings
without cost.
13-23:1 So when David was old and full of
days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
13-24:6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel
the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king,
and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before
the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household
being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
13-24:31 These likewise cast lots over against
their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the
fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against
their younger brethren.
13-25:2 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and
Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of
Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.
13-26:26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were
over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over
thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.
13-26:30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and
his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among
them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD,
and in the service of the king.
13-26:32 And his brethren, men of valour, were
two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king
David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of
Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
13-27:1 Now the children of Israel after
their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds,
and their officers that served the king in any
matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all
the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand.
13-27:24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number,
but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither
was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king
David.
13-27:31 And over the flocks was Jaziz the
Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David’s.
13-28:1 And David assembled all the princes
of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that
ministered to the king by course, and the
captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards
over all the substance and possession of the king,
and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the
valiant men, unto Jerusalem.
13-28:2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my
brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of
rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God,
and had made ready for the building:
13-28:4 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose
me before all the house of my father to be king
over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the
house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he
liked me to make me king over all Israel:
13-29:1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son,
whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for
the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
13-29:9 Then the people rejoiced, for that
they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to
the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with
great joy.
13-29:20 And David said to all the
congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the
LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD,
and the king.
13-29:22 And did eat and drink before the LORD
on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD
to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.
13-29:23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the
LORD as king instead of David his father, and
prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
13-29:24 And all the princes, and the mighty
men, and all the sons likewise of king David,
submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
13-29:25 And the LORD magnified Solomon
exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal
majesty as had not been on any king before him
in Israel.
13-29:29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the
book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book
of Gad the seer,
14-1:9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise
unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in
multitude.
14-1:11 And God said to Solomon, Because
this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor
the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked
wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I
have made thee king:
14-1:14 And Solomon gathered chariots and
horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand
horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
14-1:15 And the king
made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made
he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
14-2:3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my
father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even
so deal with me.
14-2:11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to
Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.
14-2:12 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the
LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and
understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his
kingdom.
14-4:11 And Huram made the pots, and the
shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
14-4:16 The pots also, and the shovels, and
the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright
brass.
14-4:17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and
Zeredathah.
14-5:3 Wherefore all the men of Israel
assembled themselves unto the king in the feast
which was in the seventh month.
14-5:6 Also king
Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before
the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for
multitude.
14-6:3 And the king
turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the
congregation of Israel stood.
14-7:4 Then the king
and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
14-7:5 And king
Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and
twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the
people dedicated the house of God.
14-7:6 And the priests waited on their
offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David
the king had made to praise the LORD, because
his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests
sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
14-8:10 And these were the chief of king Solomon’s officers, even two hundred and fifty,
that bare rule over the people.
14-8:11 And Solomon brought up the daughter
of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her:
for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto
the ark of the LORD hath come.
14-8:15 And they departed not from the
commandment of the king unto the priests and
Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
14-8:18 And Huram sent him by the hands of
his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went
with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty
talents of gold, and brought them to king
Solomon.
14-9:5 And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in mine own
land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:
14-9:8 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which
delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king
for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever,
therefore made he thee king over them, to do
judgment and justice.
14-9:9 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of
spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice
as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.
14-9:11 And the king
made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king’s
palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen
before in the land of Judah.
14-9:12 And king
Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside
that which she had brought unto the king. So she
turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
14-9:15 And king
Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten
gold went to one target.
14-9:16 And three hundred shields made he of
beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
14-9:17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
14-9:20 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the
house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was
not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
14-9:22 And king
Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
14-9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls
for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the
chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
14-9:27 And the king
made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore
trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
14-10:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to
Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
14-10:2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of
Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam
returned out of Egypt.
14-10:6 And king
Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father
while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this
people?
14-10:12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to
Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade,
saying, Come again to me on the third day.
14-10:13 And the king
answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook
the counsel of the old men,
14-10:15 So the king
hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might
perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to
Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
14-10:16 And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered
the king, saying, What portion have we in David?
and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O
Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their
tents.
14-10:18 Then king
Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel
stoned him with stones, that he died. But king
Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
14-11:3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of
Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in
Judah and Benjamin, saying,
14-11:22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of
Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
14-12:2 And it came to pass, that in the
fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they
had transgressed against the LORD,
14-12:6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and
the king humbled themselves; and they said, The
LORD is righteous.
14-12:9 So Shishak king
of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of
the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away
also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
14-12:10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed
them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the
king’s house.
14-12:11 And when the king
entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and
brought them again into the guard chamber.
14-12:13 So king
Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one
and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in
Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel,
to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
14-13:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
14-15:16 And also concerning Maachah the
mother of Asa the king, he removed her from
being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her
idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
14-16:1 In the six and thirtieth year of the
reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up
against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or
come in to Asa king of Judah.
14-16:2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold
out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king’s house, and sent
to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus,
saying,
14-16:3 There is a league between me and
thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee
silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king
of Israel, that he may depart from me.
14-16:4 And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against
the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the
store cities of Naphtali.
14-16:6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and
the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba
and Mizpah.
14-16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer
came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him,
Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria,
and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.
14-17:19 These waited on the king, beside those whom the king
put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
14-18:3 And Ahab king
of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah,
Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art,
and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.
14-18:4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of
the LORD to day.
14-18:5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four
hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or
shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s
hand.
14-18:7 And the king
of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire
of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always
evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
14-18:8 And the king
of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the
son of Imla.
14-18:9 And the king
of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat
either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void
place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets
prophesied before them.
14-18:11 And all the prophets prophesied so,
saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into
the hand of the king.
14-18:12 And the messenger that went to call
Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to
the king with one assent; let thy word
therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.
14-18:14 And when he was come to the king, the king said
unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear?
And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
14-18:15 And the king
said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the
truth to me in the name of the LORD?
14-18:17 And the king
of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy
good unto me, but evil?
14-18:19 And the LORD said, Who shall entice
Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall
at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying
after that manner.
14-18:25 Then the king
of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the
city, and to Joash the king’s son;
14-18:26 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with
bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.
14-18:28 So the king
of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went
up to Ramothgilead.
14-18:29 And the king
of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the
battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king
of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.
14-18:30 Now the king
of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying,
Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king
of Israel.
14-18:31 And it came to pass, when the
captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to
fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them
to depart from him.
14-18:32 For it came to pass, that, when the
captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king
of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.
14-18:33 And a certain man drew a bow at a
venture, and smote the king of Israel between
the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine
hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
14-18:34 And the battle increased that day:
howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in
his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun
going down he died.
14-19:1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to
Jerusalem.
14-19:2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer
went out to meet him, and said to king
Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD?
therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
14-20:15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah,
and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king
Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason
of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
14-20:35 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
14-21:2 And he had brethren the sons of
Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and
Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king
of Israel.
14-21:8 In his days the Edomites revolted
from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
14-21:12 And there came a writing to him from
Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father,
Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the
ways of Asa king of Judah,
14-22:1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem
made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead:
for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the
eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of
Judah reigned.
14-22:5 He walked also after their counsel,
and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of
Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at
Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.
14-22:6 And he returned to be healed in
Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought
with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son
of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see
Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.
14-22:11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the
king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole
him from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a
bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king
Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,)
hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
14-23:3 And all the congregation made a covenant
with the king in the house of God. And he said
unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the
sons of David.
14-23:7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his
hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but
be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when
he goeth out.
14-23:9 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered
to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God.
14-23:10 And he set all the people, every man
having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left
side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
14-23:11 Then they brought out the king’s son,
and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and
said, God save the king.
14-23:12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of
the people running and praising the king, she
came to the people into the house of the LORD:
14-23:13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the
princes and the trumpets by the king: and all
the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers
with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah
rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
14-23:16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between
him, and between all the people, and between the king,
that they should be the LORD’S people.
14-23:20 And he took the captains of hundreds,
and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the
land, and brought down the king from the house
of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set
the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
14-24:6 And the king
called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of
the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according
to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of
Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
14-24:12 And the king
and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the
LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also
such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
14-24:14 And when they had finished it, they brought
the rest of the money before the king and
Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to
minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And
they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days
of Jehoiada.
14-24:17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came
the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king.
Then the king hearkened unto them.
14-24:21 And they conspired against him, and
stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king
in the court of the house of the LORD.
14-24:22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his
father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD
look upon it, and require it.
14-24:23 And it came to pass at the end of the
year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and
Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people,
and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of
Damascus.
14-25:3 Now it came to pass, when the
kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
14-25:7 But there came a man of God to him,
saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go
with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of
Ephraim.
14-25:16 And it came to pass, as he talked
with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou
made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the
prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee,
because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
14-25:17 Then Amaziah king
of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another
in the face.
14-25:18 And Joash king
of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying,
The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying,
Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was
in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
14-25:21 So Joash the king
of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to
Judah.
14-25:23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of
Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him
to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to
the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
14-25:25 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of
Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
14-26:1 Then all the people of Judah took
Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king
in the room of his father Amaziah.
14-26:2 He built Eloth, and restored it to
Judah, after that the king slept with his
fathers.
14-26:13 And under their hand was an army,
three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with
mighty power, to help the king against the
enemy.
14-26:18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto
thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of
Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou
hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.
14-26:21 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt
in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the
LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the
land.
14-27:5 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And
the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and
ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the
children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
14-28:5 Wherefore the LORD his God delivered
him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they
smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought
them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
14-28:7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim,
slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and
Elkanah that was next to the king.
14-28:16 At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
14-28:19 For the LORD brought Judah low
because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made
Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.
14-28:20 And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but
strengthened him not.
14-28:21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of
the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king,
and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of
Assyria: but he helped him not.
14-28:22 And in the time of his distress did
he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king
Ahaz.
14-29:15 And they gathered their brethren, and
sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house
of the LORD.
14-29:18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the
LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the
shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
14-29:19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his
transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before
the altar of the LORD.
14-29:20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city,
and went up to the house of the LORD.
14-29:23 And they brought forth the he goats
for the sin offering before the king and the
congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
14-29:24 And the priests killed them, and they
made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for
all Israel: for the king commanded that the
burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
14-29:27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the
burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of
the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by
David king of Israel.
14-29:29 And when they had made an end of
offering, the king and all that were present
with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
14-29:30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing
praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they
sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
14-30:2 For the king
had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to
keep the passover in the second month.
14-30:4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
14-30:6 So the posts went with the letters
from the king and his princes throughout all
Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto
the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant
of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
14-30:12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to
give them one heart to do the commandment of the king
and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
14-30:24 For Hezekiah king
of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand
sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten
thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
14-30:26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem:
for since the time of Solomon the son of David king
of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
14-31:13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath,
and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath,
and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother,
at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and
Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
14-32:1 After these things, and the
establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria
came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and
thought to win them for himself.
14-32:7 Be strong and courageous, be not
afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor
for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with
him:
14-32:8 With him is an arm of flesh; but
with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the
people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king
of Judah.
14-32:9 After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but
he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto
Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that
were at Jerusalem, saying,
14-32:10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in
the siege in Jerusalem?
14-32:11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to
give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God
shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of
Assyria?
14-32:20 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed
and cried to heaven.
14-32:21 And the LORD sent an angel, which cut
off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of
the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame
of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they
that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.
14-32:22 Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and
guided them on every side.
14-32:23 And many brought gifts unto the LORD
to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of
Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
14-33:11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them
the captains of the host of the king of Assyria,
which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried
him to Babylon.
14-33:25 But the people of the land slew all
them that had conspired against king Amon; and
the people of the land made Josiah his son king
in his stead.
14-34:16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king
word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.
14-34:18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book.
And Shaphan read it before the king.
14-34:19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his
clothes.
14-34:20 And the king
commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah,
and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king’s, saying,
14-34:22 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the
wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe;
(now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that
effect.
14-34:24 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will
bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the
curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:
14-34:26 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so
shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words
which thou hast heard;
14-34:28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy
fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine
eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the
inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king
word again.
14-34:29 Then the king
sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
14-34:30 And the king
went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah, and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people,
great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the
covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
14-34:31 And the king
stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the
LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with
all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant
which are written in this book.
14-35:3 And said unto the Levites that
taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house
which Solomon the son of David king of Israel
did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD
your God, and his people Israel,
14-35:4 And prepare yourselves by the houses
of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of
Solomon his son.
14-35:16 So all the service of the LORD was
prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon
the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king
Josiah.
14-35:20 After all this, when Josiah had
prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up
to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
14-35:21 But he sent ambassadors to him,
saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of
Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have
war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God,
who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
14-35:23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king
said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
14-36:1 Then the people of the land took
Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in
his father’s stead in Jerusalem.
14-36:3 And the king
of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred
talents of silver and a talent of gold.
14-36:4 And the king
of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over
Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz
his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
14-36:6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry
him to Babylon.
14-36:10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with
the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
14-36:13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God:
but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD
God of Israel.
14-36:17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with
the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man
or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his
hand.
14-36:18 And all the vessels of the house of
God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the
treasures of the king, and of his princes; all
these he brought to Babylon.
14-36:22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by
the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of
Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a
proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
14-36:23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the
LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in
Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The
LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
15-1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth
of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout
all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
15-1:2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me
all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at
Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
15-1:7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the
LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them
in the house of his gods;
15-1:8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath
the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
15-2:1 Now these are the children of the
province that went up out of the captivity, of those which had been carried
away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon
had carried away unto Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every
one unto his city;
15-3:7 They gave money also unto the
masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of
Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of
Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king
of Persia.
15-3:10 And when the builders laid the
foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel
with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the
LORD, after the ordinance of David king of
Israel.
15-4:2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and
to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we
seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of
Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up
hither.
15-4:3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the
rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to
do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build
unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.
15-4:5 And hired counsellors against them,
to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king
of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king
of Persia.
15-4:7 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote
Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was
written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
15-4:8 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai
the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
15-4:11 This is the copy of the letter that
they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king;
Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.
15-4:12 Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are
come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up
the walls thereof, and joined the foundations.
15-4:13 Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set
up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt
endamage the revenue of the kings.
15-4:14 Now because we have maintenance from
the king’s palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king’s dishonour,
therefore have we sent and certified the king;
15-4:16 We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the
walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the
river.
15-4:17 Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to
Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria,
and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.
15-4:23 Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, and
Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem
unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
15-4:24 Then ceased the work of the house of
God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of
Darius king of Persia.
15-5:6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai,
governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the
Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
15-5:7 They sent a letter unto him,
wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king,
all peace.
15-5:8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the
house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid
in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.
15-5:11 And thus they returned us answer,
saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house
that was builded these many years ago, which a great king
of Israel builded and set up.
15-5:12 But after that our fathers had
provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the
Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
15-5:13 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king
Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.
15-5:14 And the vessels also of gold and
silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that
was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus
the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and
they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made
governor;
15-5:17 Now therefore, if it seem good to
the king, let there be search made in the king’s
treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was
made of Cyrus the king to build this house of
God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his
pleasure to us concerning this matter.
15-6:1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house
of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
15-6:3 In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king
made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be
builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations
thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth
thereof threescore cubits;
15-6:10 That they may offer sacrifices of
sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
15-6:13 Then Tatnai, governor on this side
the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius
the king had sent, so they did speedily.
15-6:14 And the elders of the Jews builded,
and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah
the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the
commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus,
and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15-6:15 And this house was finished on the
third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius
the king.
15-6:22 And kept the feast of unleavened
bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the
heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to
strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
15-7:1 Now after these things, in the
reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son
of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
15-7:6 This Ezra went up from Babylon; and
he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had
given: and the king granted him all his request,
according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.
15-7:7 And there went up some of the children
of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the
porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes
the king.
15-7:8 And he came to Jerusalem in the
fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
15-7:11 Now this is the copy of the letter
that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the
priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD,
and of his statutes to Israel.
15-7:12 Artaxerxes, king
of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven,
perfect peace, and at such a time.
15-7:14 Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire
concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in
thine hand;
15-7:15 And to carry the silver and gold,
which the king and his counsellors have freely
offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
15-7:21 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are
beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the
God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,
15-7:23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God
of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for
why should there be wrath against the realm of the king
and his sons?
15-7:26 And whosoever will not do the law of
thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment
be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or
to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
15-7:28 And hath extended mercy unto me
before the king, and his counsellors, and before
all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD
my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up
with me.
15-8:1 These are now the chief of their fathers,
and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the
reign of Artaxerxes the king.
15-8:22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us
against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for
good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that
forsake him.
15-8:25 And weighed unto them the silver,
and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which
the king, and his counsellors, and his lords,
and all Israel there present, had offered:
16-2:1 And it came to pass in the month
Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king,
that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.
16-2:2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing
thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very
sore afraid,
16-2:3 And said unto the king, Let the king live
for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my
fathers’ sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
16-2:4 Then the king
said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of
heaven.
16-2:5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king,
and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me
unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.
16-2:6 And the king
said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey
be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king
to send me; and I set him a time.
16-2:7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king,
let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey
me over till I come into Judah;
16-2:8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper
of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of
the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and
for the house that I shall enter into. And the king
granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
16-2:9 Then I came to the governors beyond
the river, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king
had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.
16-2:19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and
Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they
laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do?
will ye rebel against the king?
16-5:14 Moreover from the time that I was
appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year
even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king,
that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the
governor.
16-6:6 Wherein was written, It is reported
among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel:
for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
16-6:7 And thou hast also appointed
prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and
let us take counsel together.
16-7:6 These are the children of the
province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried
away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon
had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his
city;
16-9:22 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms
and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of
Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and
the land of Og king of Bashan.
16-13:6 But in all this time was not I at
Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
16-13:26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many
nations was there no king like him, who was
beloved of his God, and God made him king over
all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
17-1:2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which
was in Shushan the palace,
17-1:5 And when these days were expired,
the king made a feast unto all the people that
were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in
the court of the garden of the king’s palace;
17-1:7 And they gave them drink in vessels
of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in
abundance, according to the state of the king.
17-1:8 And the drinking was according to
the law; none did compel: for so the king had
appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to
every man’s pleasure.
17-1:9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for
the women in the royal house which belonged to king
Ahasuerus.
17-1:10 On the seventh day, when the heart
of the king was merry with wine, he commanded
Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven
chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
17-1:11 To bring Vashti the queen before the
king with the crown royal, to shew the people
and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
17-1:12 But the queen Vashti refused to come
at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
17-1:13 Then the king
said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner
toward all that knew law and judgment:
17-1:15 What shall we do unto the queen
Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
17-1:16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done
wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes,
and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17-1:17 For this deed of the queen shall
come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their
eyes, when it shall be reported, The king
Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came
not.
17-1:19 If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and
let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not
altered, That Vashti come no more before king
Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal
estate unto another that is better than she.
17-1:21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king
did according to the word of Memucan:
17-2:1 After these things, when the wrath
of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti,
and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
17-2:2 Then said the king’s servants that
ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
17-2:3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that
they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to
the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king’s chamberlain, keeper
of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
17-2:4 And let the maiden which pleaseth
the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the
thing pleased the king; and he did so.
17-2:6 Who had been carried away from
Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
17-2:12 Now when every maid’s turn was come
to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had
been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days
of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and
six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the
women;)
17-2:13 Then thus came every maiden unto the
king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go
with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.
17-2:14 In the evening she went, and on the
morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of
Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto
the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by
name.
17-2:15 Now when the turn of Esther, the
daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter,
was come to go in unto the king, she required
nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women,
appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon
her.
17-2:16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth
month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17-2:17 And the king
loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight
more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and
made her queen instead of Vashti.
17-2:18 Then the king
made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and
gave gifts, according to the state of the king.
17-2:21 In those days, while Mordecai sat in
the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those
which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
17-2:22 And the thing was known to Mordecai,
who told it unto Esther the queen;
and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai’s name.
17-2:23 And when inquisition was made of the
matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was
written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
17-3:1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the
Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
17-3:2 And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and
reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded
concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
17-3:7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year
of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to
day, and from month to month, to the
twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
17-3:8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered
abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and
their laws are diverse from all
people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
17-3:9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed:
and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have
the charge of the business, to bring it into
the king’s treasuries.
17-3:10 And the king
took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the
Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
17-3:11 And the king
said unto Haman, The silver is given
to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
17-3:12 Then were the king’s scribes called
on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to
all that Haman had commanded unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors
that were over every province, and to
the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof,
and to every people after their
language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it
written, and sealed with the king’s ring.
17-3:15 The posts went out, being hastened
by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And
the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the
city Shushan was perplexed.
17-4:8 Also he gave him the copy of the
writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she
should go in unto the king, to make supplication
unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
17-4:11 All the king’s servants, and the people
of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall
come unto the king into the inner court, who is
not called, there is one law of his
to put him to death, except such to
whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre,
that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
17-4:16 Go, gather together all the Jews
that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink
three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will
I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I
perish, I perish.
17-5:1 Now it came to pass on the third
day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of
the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house,
over against the gate of the house.
17-5:2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight:
and the king held out to Esther the golden
sceptre that was in his hand. So
Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
17-5:3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given
thee to the half of the kingdom.
17-5:4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and
Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
17-5:5 Then the king
said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had
prepared.
17-5:6 And the king
said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the
kingdom it shall be performed.
17-5:8 If I have found favour in the sight
of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request,
let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I
shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king
hath said.
17-5:11 And Haman told them of the glory of
his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had
promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the
king.
17-5:12 Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the
queen did let no man come in with the king unto
the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto
her also with the king.
17-5:14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all
his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow
speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be
hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king
unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be
made.
17-6:1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of
records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
17-6:2 And it was found written, that
Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers
of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king
Ahasuerus.
17-6:3 And the king
said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said
the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
17-6:4 And the king
said, Who is in the court? Now Haman
was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had
prepared for him.
17-6:5 And the king’s servants said unto
him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king
said, Let him come in.
17-6:6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man
whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman
thought in his heart, To whom would the king
delight to do honour more than to myself?
17-6:7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king
delighteth to honour,
17-6:8 Let the royal apparel be brought
which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king
rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
17-6:9 And let this apparel and horse be
delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may
array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback
through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done
to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
17-6:10 Then the king
said to Haman, Make haste, and take
the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the
Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast
spoken.
17-6:11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse,
and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the
city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
17-7:1 So the king
and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
17-7:2 And the king
said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it
shall be granted thee: and what is thy
request? and it shall be performed, even to
the half of the kingdom.
17-7:3 Then Esther the queen answered and
said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king,
and if it please the king, let my life be given
me at my petition, and my people at my request:
17-7:5 Then the king
Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he,
that durst presume in his heart to do so?
17-7:6 And Esther said, The adversary and
enemy is this wicked Haman. Then
Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
17-7:7 And the king
arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for
his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against
him by the king.
17-7:8 Then the king
returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and
Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he
force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s
mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
17-7:9 And Harbonah, one of the
chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also,
the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had
spoken good for the king, standeth in the house
of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
17-8:1 On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy
unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king;
for Esther had told what he was unto
her.
17-8:2 And the king
took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai.
And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
17-8:3 And Esther spake yet again before
the king, and fell down at his feet, and
besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his
device that he had devised against the Jews.
17-8:4 Then the king
held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before
the king,
17-8:5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the
thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing
in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son
of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces:
17-8:7 Then the king
Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have
given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows,
because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
17-8:10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
17-8:11 Wherein the king
granted the Jews which were in every
city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to
slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that
would assault them, both little ones
and women, and to take the spoil of
them for a prey,
17-8:12 Upon one day in all the provinces of
king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day
of the twelfth month, which is the
month Adar.
17-8:15 And Mordecai went out from the presence
of the king in royal apparel of blue and white,
and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple:
and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
17-9:2 The Jews gathered themselves
together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their
hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all
people.
17-9:3 And all the rulers of the
provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai
fell upon them.
17-9:11 On that day the number of those that
were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
17-9:12 And the king
said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men
in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the
rest of the king’s provinces? now what is
thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
17-9:13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also
according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the
gallows.
17-9:14 And the king
commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they
hanged Haman’s ten sons.
17-9:20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and
sent letters unto all the Jews that were in
all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
17-9:25 But when Esther came before the king, he
commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews,
should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on
the gallows.
17-10:1 And the king
Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon
the isles of the sea.
17-10:2 And all the acts of his power and of
his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and
Persia?
17-10:3 For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king
Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his
brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
18-15:24 Trouble and anguish shall make him
afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king
ready to the battle.
18-18:14 His confidence shall be rooted out of
his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king
of terrors.
18-29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief,
and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
18-34:18 Is
it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
18-41:34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of
pride.
19-2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
19-5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry,
my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
19-10:16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the
heathen are perished out of his land.
19-18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and
to his seed for evermore.
19-20:9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
19-21:1 The king
shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he
rejoice!
19-21:7 For the king
trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be
moved.
19-24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and
be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King
of glory shall come in.
19-24:8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD
strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
19-24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even
lift them up, ye everlasting doors;
and the King of glory shall come in.
19-24:10 Who is this King
of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the
King of glory. Selah.
19-29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea,
the LORD sitteth King for ever.
19-33:16 There is no king
saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much
strength.
19-44:4 Thou art my King,
O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
19-45:1 My heart is inditing a good matter:
I speak of the things which I have made touching the king:
my tongue is the pen of a ready
writer.
19-45:11 So shall the king
greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy
Lord; and worship thou him.
19-45:14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her
companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
19-47:2 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the
earth.
19-47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises:
sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
19-47:7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing
ye praises with understanding.
19-48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of
the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of
the great King.
19-63:11 But the king
shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth
of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
19-68:24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
19-72:1 Give the king
thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
19-74:12 For God is my King of old, working salvation
in the midst of the earth.
19-84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an
house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
19-89:18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19-95:3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King
above all gods.
19-98:6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make
a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
19-105:20 The king
sent and loosed him; even the ruler
of the people, and let him go free.
19-135:11 Sihon king
of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all
the kingdoms of Canaan:
19-136:19 Sihon king
of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for
ever:
19-136:20 And Og the king
of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for
ever:
19-145:1 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
19-149:2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made
him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
20-1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of
David, king of Israel;
20-16:10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
20-16:14 The wrath of a king is as messengers
of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
20-20:2 The fear of a king is as
the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh
him to anger sinneth against his own
soul.
20-20:8 A king
that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
20-20:26 A wise king
scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
20-20:28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
20-22:11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his
friend.
20-24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle
not with them that are given to change:
20-25:1 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
20-25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king,
and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
20-25:6 Put not forth thyself in the
presence of the king, and stand not in the place
of great men:
20-29:4 The king
by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
20-29:14 The king
that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
20-30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
20-30:31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there
is no rising up.
20-31:1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
21-1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son
of David, king in Jerusalem.
21-1:12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
21-2:12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom,
and madness, and folly: for what can the
man do that cometh after the king? even that
which hath been already done.
21-4:13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
21-5:9 Moreover the profit of the earth is
for all: the king himself is served by the field.
21-8:4 Where the word of a king is, there
is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
21-9:14 There
was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great
bulwarks against it:
21-10:16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a
child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
21-10:17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes
eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
21-10:20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy
bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath
wings shall tell the matter.
22-1:4 Draw me,
we will run after thee: the king hath brought me
into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy
love more than wine: the upright love thee.
22-1:12 While the
king sitteth
at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
22-3:9 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of
Lebanon.
22-3:11 Go forth,
O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon
with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals,
and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
22-7:5 Thine
head upon thee is like Carmel, and
the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
23-6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a
throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
23-6:5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in
the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
23-7:1 And it came to pass in the days of
Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king
of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war
against it, but could not prevail against it.
23-7:6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex
it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king
in the midst of it, even the son of
Tabeal:
23-7:17 The LORD shall bring upon thee, and
upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come from the
day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even
the king of Assyria.
23-7:20 In the same day shall the Lord shave
with a razor that is hired, namely, by
them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria,
the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
23-8:4 For before the child shall have
knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the
spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king
of Assyria.
23-8:7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth
up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all
his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his
banks:
23-8:21 And they shall pass through it,
hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be
hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king
and their God, and look upward.
23-10:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his
whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the
stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the
glory of his high looks.
23-14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb
against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath
the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
23-14:28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
23-19:4 And the Egyptians will I give over
into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king
shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
23-20:1 In the year that Tartan came unto
Ashdod (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent
him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;
23-20:4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the
Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame
of Egypt.
23-20:6 And the inhabitant of this isle
shall say in that day, Behold, such is our
expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
23-23:15 And it shall come to pass in that
day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing
as an harlot.
23-30:33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king
it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the
LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
23-32:1 Behold, a king
shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
23-33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is
very far off.
23-33:22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our
lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
23-36:1 Now it came to pass in the
fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah,
and took them.
23-36:2 And the king
of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the
conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field.
23-36:4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye
now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
23-36:6 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this
broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and
pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
23-36:8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray
thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I
will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders
upon them.
23-36:13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with
a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of
Assyria.
23-36:14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not
be able to deliver you.
23-36:15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust
in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be
delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
23-36:16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus
saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and
eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every
one the waters of his own cistern;
23-36:18 Beware
lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of
the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
23-37:1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth,
and went into the house of the LORD.
23-37:4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear
the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria
his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words
which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
23-37:5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
23-37:6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus
shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words
that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king
of Assyria have blasphemed me.
23-37:8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the
king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he
had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
23-37:9 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah
king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war
with thee. And when he heard it, he
sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
23-37:10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou
trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of
the king of Assyria.
23-37:13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king
of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
23-37:21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto
Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed
to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
23-37:33 Therefore thus saith the LORD
concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not
come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields,
nor cast a bank against it.
23-37:37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and
dwelt at Nineveh.
23-38:6 And I will deliver thee and this
city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and
I will defend this city.
23-38:9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was
recovered of his sickness:
23-39:1 At that time Merodachbaladan, the
son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters
and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was
recovered.
23-39:3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men?
and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a
far country unto me, even from
Babylon.
23-39:7 And of thy sons that shall issue
from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be
eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
23-41:21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD;
bring forth your strong reasons, saith
the King of Jacob.
23-43:15 I am
the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
23-44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there
is no God.
23-57:9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes,
and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.
24-1:2 To whom the word of the LORD came
in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of
Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
24-1:3 It came also in the days of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto
the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem
captive in the fifth month.
24-3:6 The LORD said also unto me in the
days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done?
she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there
hath played the harlot.
24-4:9 And it shall come to pass at that
day, saith the LORD, that the heart
of the king shall perish, and the heart of the
princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
24-8:19 Behold the voice of the cry of the
daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king
in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
24-10:7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain:
forasmuch as among all the wise men of
the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there
is none like unto thee.
24-10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the
living God, and an everlasting king: at his
wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his
indignation.
24-13:18 Say unto the king
and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall
come down, even the crown of your
glory.
24-15:4 And I will cause them to be removed
into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that
which he did in Jerusalem.
24-20:4 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I
will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall
by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into
Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
24-21:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah
from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him
Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest,
saying,
24-21:2 Inquire, I pray thee, of the LORD
for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon
maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to
all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
24-21:4 Thus saith the LORD God of Israel;
Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I
will assemble them into the midst of this city.
24-21:7 And afterward, saith the LORD, I
will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his
servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the
pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the
hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he
shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither
have pity, nor have mercy.
24-21:10 For I have set my face against this
city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn
it with fire.
24-21:11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say,
Hear ye the word of the LORD;
24-22:1 Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the
house of the king of Judah, and speak there this
word,
24-22:2 And say, Hear the word of the LORD,
O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of
David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
24-22:11 For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum
the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned
instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not
return thither any more:
24-22:18 Therefore thus saith the LORD
concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying,
Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
24-22:24 As
I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet
would I pluck thee thence;
24-22:25 And I will give thee into the hand of
them that seek thy life, and into the hand of
them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
24-23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the
LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute
judgment and justice in the earth.
24-24:1 The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two
baskets of figs were set before the
temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the
carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
24-24:8 And as the evil figs, which cannot
be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah
the king of Judah, and his princes, and the
residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land
of Egypt:
24-25:1 The word that came to Jeremiah
concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of
Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon;
24-25:3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah
the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this
day, that is the three and twentieth
year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you,
rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
24-25:9 Behold, I will send and take all the
families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them
against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these
nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an
astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
24-25:11 And this whole land shall be a
desolation, and an astonishment; and
these nations shall serve the king of Babylon
seventy years.
24-25:12 And it shall come to pass, when
seventy years are accomplished, that I
will punish the king of Babylon, and that
nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and
will make it perpetual desolations.
24-25:19 Pharaoh king
of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
24-25:26 And all the kings of the north, far
and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
24-26:1 In the beginning of the reign of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came
this word from the LORD, saying,
24-26:18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in
the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to
all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be
plowed like a field, and Jerusalem
shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a
forest.
24-26:19 Did Hezekiah king
of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and
besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had
pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
24-26:21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes,
heard his words, the king sought to put him to
death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
24-26:22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.
24-26:23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of
Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king;
who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the
common people.
24-27:1 In the beginning of the reign of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came
this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
24-27:3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king
of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and
to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which
come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
24-27:6 And now have I given all these lands
into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of
Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve
him.
24-27:8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will
not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of
Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the
LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I
have consumed them by his hand.
24-27:9 Therefore hearken not ye to your
prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters,
nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
24-27:11 But the nations that bring their neck
under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve
him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they
shall till it, and dwell therein.
24-27:12 I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying,
Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of
Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
24-27:13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people,
by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken
against the nation that will not serve the king
of Babylon?
24-27:14 Therefore hearken not unto the words
of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
24-27:17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city
be laid waste?
24-27:18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now
make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the
house of the LORD, and in the house
of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not
to Babylon.
24-27:20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive
Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from
Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
24-27:21 Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in
the house of the king of Judah and of
Jerusalem;
24-28:1 And it came to pass the same year,
in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king
of Judah, in the fourth year, and in
the fifth month, that Hananiah the
son of Azur the prophet, which was of
Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests
and of all the people, saying,
24-28:2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the
God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king
of Babylon.
24-28:3 Within two full years will I bring
again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried
them to Babylon:
24-28:4 And I will bring again to this place
Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah,
with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I
will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
24-28:11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of
all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of
all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went
his way.
24-28:14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the
God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations,
that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field
also.
24-29:2 (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of
Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from
Jerusalem;)
24-29:3 By the hand of Elasah the son of
Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
24-29:16 Know
that thus saith the LORD of the king that
sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this
city, and of your brethren that are not
gone forth with you into captivity;
24-29:21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God
of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah,
which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the
hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he
shall slay them before your eyes;
24-29:22 And of them shall be taken up a curse
by all the captivity of Judah which are in
Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
24-30:9 But they shall serve the LORD their
God, and David their king, whom I will raise up
unto them.
24-32:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from
the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of
Judah, which was the eighteenth year
of Nebuchadrezzar.
24-32:2 For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet
was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house.
24-32:3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou
prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take
it;
24-32:4 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans,
but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king
of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold
his eyes;
24-32:28 Therefore thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand
of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall
take it:
24-32:36 And now therefore thus saith the
LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be
delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon
by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
24-34:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah
from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion,
and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities
thereof, saying,
24-34:2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of
Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah,
and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand
of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it
with fire:
24-34:3 And thou shalt not escape out of his
hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes
shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon,
and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
24-34:4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O
Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of
thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
24-34:6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all
these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in
Jerusalem,
24-34:7 When the king
of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah
that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities
remained of the cities of Judah.
24-34:8 This
is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people
which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim
liberty unto them;
24-34:21 And Zedekiah king
of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into
the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.
24-35:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah
from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
24-35:11 But it came to pass, when
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the
land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of
the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at
Jerusalem.
24-36:1 And it came to pass in the fourth
year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah, that this word came unto
Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
24-36:9 And it came to pass in the fifth year
of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in
the ninth month, that they proclaimed
a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people
that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
24-36:16 Now it came to pass, when they had
heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch,
We will surely tell the king of all these words.
24-36:20 And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the
chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
24-36:21 So the king
sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe’s
chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king,
and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
24-36:22 Now the king
sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
24-36:24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent
their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these
words.
24-36:25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and
Gemariah had made intercession to the king that
he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.
24-36:26 But the king
commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and
Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the
prophet: but the LORD hid them.
24-36:27 Then the word of the LORD came to
Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the
roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
24-36:28 Take thee again another roll, and
write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim
the king of Judah hath burned.
24-36:29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned
this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this
land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
24-36:30 Therefore thus saith the LORD of
Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to
sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to
the heat, and in the night to the frost.
24-36:32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and
gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the
mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were
added besides unto them many like words.
24-37:1 And king
Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
24-37:3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah
the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto
the LORD our God for us.
24-37:7 Thus saith the LORD, the God of
Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah,
that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come
forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
24-37:17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is
there any word from the LORD? And
Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of
the king of Babylon.
24-37:18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or
against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
24-37:19 Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor
against this land?
24-37:20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my
lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee,
be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of
Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
24-37:21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into
the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread
out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus
Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
24-38:3 Thus saith the LORD, This city shall
surely be given into the hand of the king of
Babylon’s army, which shall take it.
24-38:4 Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death:
for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and
the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man
seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
24-38:5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing
against you.
24-38:7 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian,
one of the eunuchs which was in the king’s house, heard that they had put
Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting
in the gate of Benjamin;
24-38:8 Ebedmelech went forth out of the
king’s house, and spake to the king, saying,
24-38:9 My lord the king,
these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet,
whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the
place where he is: for there is no
more bread in the city.
24-38:10 Then the king
commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with
thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
24-38:11 So Ebedmelech took the men with him,
and went into the house of the king under the
treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them
down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
24-38:14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into
the third entry that is in the house
of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I
will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
24-38:16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this
soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of
these men that seek thy life.
24-38:17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah,
Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt
assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon’s
princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire;
and thou shalt live, and thine house:
24-38:18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then shall this city be
given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and
thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
24-38:22 And, behold, all the women that are
left in the king of Judah’s house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set
thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.
24-38:23 So they shall bring out all thy wives
and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand,
but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of
Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
24-38:25 But if the princes hear that I have
talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us
now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it
not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:
24-38:26 Then thou shalt say unto them, I
presented my supplication before the king, that
he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.
24-38:27 Then came all the princes unto
Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the
king had commanded. So they left off speaking
with him; for the matter was not perceived.
24-39:1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon and all his army against
Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
24-39:3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo,
Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the
princes of the king of Babylon.
24-39:4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then
they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s
garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the
plain.
24-39:5 But the Chaldeans’ army pursued
after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had
taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king
of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
24-39:6 Then the king
of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
24-39:11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
24-39:13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the
guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes;
24-40:5 Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king
of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him
among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So
the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
24-40:7 Now when all the captains of the
forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam
governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children,
and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to
Babylon;
24-40:9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the
son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the
Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king
of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
24-40:11 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites,
and in Edom, and that were in all the
countries, heard that the king of Babylon had
left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
24-40:14 And said unto him, Dost thou
certainly know that Baalis the king of the
Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam believed them not.
24-41:1 Now it came to pass in the seventh
month, that Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
24-41:2 Then arose Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
24-41:9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast
all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.
24-41:18 Because of the Chaldeans: for they
were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah
the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made
governor in the land.
24-42:11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid
of him, saith the LORD: for I am with
you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
24-43:10 And say unto them, Thus saith the
LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar
the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set
his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal
pavilion over them.
24-44:30 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will
give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand
of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave
Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and
that sought his life.
24-45:1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet
spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book
at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
24-46:2 Against Egypt, against the army of
Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the
river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
24-46:13 The word that the LORD spake to
Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon should come and smite the
land of Egypt.
24-46:17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is
but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
24-46:18 As
I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by
the sea, so shall he come.
24-46:26 And I will deliver them into the hand
of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants:
and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.
24-48:15 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young
men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King,
whose name is the LORD of hosts.
24-49:1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith
the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad,
and his people dwell in his cities?
24-49:3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled:
cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and
fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into
captivity, and his priests and his
princes together.
24-49:28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the
kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil
the men of the east.
24-49:30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye
inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and
hath conceived a purpose against you.
24-49:34 The word of the LORD that came to
Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
24-49:38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and
will destroy from thence the king and the
princes, saith the LORD.
24-50:17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria
hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon hath broken his bones.
24-50:18 Therefore thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king
of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king
of Assyria.
24-50:43 The king
of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish
took hold of him, and pangs as of a
woman in travail.
24-51:31 One post shall run to meet another,
and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king
of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,
24-51:34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me,
he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath
filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
24-51:57 And I will make drunk her princes,
and her wise men, her captains, and
her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not
wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
24-51:59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet
commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with
Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the
fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah
was a quiet prince.
24-52:3 For through the anger of the LORD it
came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his
presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king
of Babylon.
24-52:4 And it came to pass in the ninth
year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon came, he and all his army,
against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round
about.
24-52:5 So the city was besieged unto the
eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
24-52:8 But the army of the Chaldeans
pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in
the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
24-52:9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where
he gave judgment upon him.
24-52:10 And the king
of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the
princes of Judah in Riblah.
24-52:11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah;
and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and
carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
24-52:12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came
Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served
the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
24-52:15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the
guard carried away captive certain of
the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the
city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king
of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
24-52:20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve
brasen bulls that were under the
bases, which king Solomon had made in the house
of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
24-52:26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the
guard took them, and brought them to the king of
Babylon to Riblah.
24-52:27 And the king
of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath.
Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
24-52:31 And it came to pass in the seven and
thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king
of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach
king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,
24-52:34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of
his death, all the days of his life.
25-2:6 And he hath violently taken away
his tabernacle, as if it were of a
garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the
solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the
indignation of his anger the king and the
priest.
25-2:9 Her gates are sunk into the ground;
he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king
and her princes are among the
Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision
from the LORD.
26-1:2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the
fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
26-7:27 The king
shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of
the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way,
and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
26-17:12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know
ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken
the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and
led them with him to Babylon;
26-17:16 As
I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose
oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
26-19:9 And they put him in ward in chains,
and brought him to the king of Babylon: they
brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the
mountains of Israel.
26-21:19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee
two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon
may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place,
choose it at the head of the way to
the city.
26-21:21 For the king
of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use
divination: he made his arrows
bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
26-24:2 Son of man, write thee the name of
the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this
same day.
26-26:7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold,
I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses,
and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
26-28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation
upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in
beauty.
26-29:2 Son of man, set thy face against
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him,
and against all Egypt:
26-29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Behold, I am against thee,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that
lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
26-29:18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great
service against Tyrus: every head was made
bald, and every shoulder was peeled:
yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had
served against it:
26-29:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and
take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
26-30:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also
make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
26-30:21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of
Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be
bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold
the sword.
26-30:22 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong,
and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
26-30:24 And I will strengthen the arms of the
king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand:
but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan before him with the
groanings of a deadly wounded man.
26-30:25 But I will strengthen the arms of the
king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall
fall down; and they shall know that I am the
LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king
of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
26-31:2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou
like in thy greatness?
26-32:2 Son of man, take up a lamentation
for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou
art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers,
and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
26-32:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The
sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon
thee.
26-37:22 And I will make them one nation in
the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king
shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more
two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
26-37:24 And David my servant shall be king
over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my
judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
27-1:1 In the third year of the reign of
Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
27-1:2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels
of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of
his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
27-1:3 And the king
spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and
of the king’s seed, and of the princes;
27-1:5 And the king
appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he
drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand
before the king.
27-1:10 And the prince of the eunuchs said
unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath
appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse
liking than the children which are of
your sort? then shall ye make me endanger
my head to the king.
27-1:18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince
of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
27-1:19 And the king
communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah,
Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
27-1:20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better
than all the magicians and astrologers
that were in all his realm.
27-1:21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
27-2:2 Then the king
commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and
the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams.
So they came and stood before the king.
27-2:3 And the king
said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the
dream.
27-2:4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king,
live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the
interpretation.
27-2:5 The king
answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not
make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut
in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
27-2:7 They answered again and said, Let
the king tell his servants the dream, and we will
shew the interpretation of it.
27-2:8 The king
answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye
see the thing is gone from me.
27-2:10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that
can shew the king’s matter: therefore there
is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician,
or astrologer, or Chaldean.
27-2:11 And it is a rare thing that the king
requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with
flesh.
27-2:12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to
destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
27-2:15 He answered and said to Arioch the
king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
27-2:16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of
the king that he would give him time, and that
he would shew the king the interpretation.
27-2:24 Therefore Daniel went in unto
Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy
the wise men of Babylon: he went and
said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men
of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and
I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
27-2:25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before
the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I
have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
27-2:26 The king
answered and said to Daniel, whose name was
Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have
seen, and the interpretation thereof?
27-2:27 Daniel answered in the presence of
the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the
soothsayers, shew unto the king;
27-2:28 But there is a God in heaven that
revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king
Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of
thy head upon thy bed, are these;
27-2:29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and
he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
27-2:30 But as for me, this secret is not
revealed to me for any wisdom that I
have more than any living, but for their sakes
that shall make known the interpretation to the king,
and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
27-2:31 Thou, O king,
sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and
the form thereof was terrible.
27-2:36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before
the king.
27-2:37 Thou, O king,
art a king
of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength,
and glory.
27-2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the
stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces
the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath
made known to the king what shall come to pass
hereafter: and the dream is certain,
and the interpretation thereof sure.
27-2:46 Then the king
Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that
they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
27-2:47 The king
answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it
is, that your God is a God of
gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest
reveal this secret.
27-2:48 Then the king
made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over
the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
27-2:49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over
the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
27-3:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he
set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
27-3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the
governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the
image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
27-3:3 Then the princes, the governors, and
captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all
the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the
image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up;
and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
27-3:5 That
at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the
golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath
set up:
27-3:7 Therefore at that time, when all
the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and
all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
27-3:9 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king,
live for ever.
27-3:10 Thou, O king,
hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall
fall down and worship the golden image:
27-3:12 There are certain Jews whom thou
hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded
thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set
up.
27-3:13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
27-3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered
and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this
matter.
27-3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning
fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out
of thine hand, O king.
27-3:18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O
king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor
worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
27-3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his
counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They
answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
27-3:30 Then the king
promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
27-4:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that
dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
27-4:18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare
the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation:
but thou art able; for the spirit of
the holy gods is in thee.
27-4:19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one
hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king
spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation
thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the
interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
27-4:22 It is thou, O king, that art grown and
become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy
dominion to the end of the earth.
27-4:23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from
heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of
the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the
tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
27-4:24 This is the interpretation, O king, and
this is the decree of the most High,
which is come upon my lord the king:
27-4:27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy
sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it
may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
27-4:28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
27-4:30 The king
spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of
the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
27-4:31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king
Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
27-4:37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and
extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose
works are truth, and his ways
judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
27-5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords,
and drank wine before the thousand.
27-5:2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the
wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father
Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and
his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
27-5:3 Then they brought the golden
vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines,
drank in them.
27-5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers
of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of
the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw
the part of the hand that wrote.
27-5:7 The king
cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king
spake, and said to the wise men of
Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation
thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have
a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the
kingdom.
27-5:8 Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the
writing, nor make known to the king the
interpretation thereof.
27-5:9 Then was king
Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his
lords were astonied.
27-5:10 Now
the queen by reason of the words of the king
and his lords came into the banquet house: and
the queen spake and said, O king, live for
ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
27-5:11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in
whom is the spirit of the holy gods;
and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the
wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king
Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the
magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
27-5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit,
and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard
sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and
he will shew the interpretation.
27-5:13 Then was Daniel brought in before
the king. And
the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of
Judah, whom the king my father brought out of
Jewry?
27-5:17 Then Daniel answered and said before
the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give
thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
27-5:18 O thou king,
the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and
glory, and honour:
27-5:30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
27-6:2 And over these three presidents; of
whom Daniel was first: that the
princes might give accounts unto them, and the king
should have no damage.
27-6:3 Then this Daniel was preferred
above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
27-6:6 Then these presidents and princes
assembled together to the king, and said thus
unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
27-6:7 All the presidents of the kingdom,
the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have
consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree,
that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of
thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of
lions.
27-6:8 Now, O king,
establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according
to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
27-6:9 Wherefore king
Darius signed the writing and the decree.
27-6:12 Then they came near, and spake
before the king concerning the king’s decree;
Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within
thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast
into the den of lions? The king answered and
said, The thing is true, according to
the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
27-6:13 Then answered they and said before
the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of
Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the
decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
27-6:14 Then the king,
when he heard these words, was sore
displeased with himself, and set his heart
on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver
him.
27-6:15 Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king,
Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and
Persians is, That no decree nor
statute which the king establisheth may be
changed.
27-6:16 Then the king
commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now
the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God
whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
27-6:17 And a stone was brought, and laid
upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed
it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose
might not be changed concerning Daniel.
27-6:18 Then the king
went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of
musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
27-6:19 Then the king
arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
27-6:20 And when he came to the den, he
cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and
the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel,
servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to
deliver thee from the lions?
27-6:21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for
ever.
27-6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath
shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him
innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king,
have I done no hurt.
27-6:23 Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take
Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner
of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
27-6:24 And the king
commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their
children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all
their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
27-6:25 Then king
Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the
earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
27-7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his
head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and
told the sum of the matters.
27-8:1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which
appeared unto me at the first.
27-8:21 And the rough goat is the king
of Grecia: and the great horn that is between
his eyes is the first king.
27-8:23 And in the latter time of their
kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall
stand up.
27-9:1 In the first year of Darius the son
of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king
over the realm of the Chaldeans;
27-10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose
name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was
true, but the time appointed was long:
and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
27-11:3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do
according to his will.
27-11:5 And the king
of the south shall be strong, and one of
his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
27-11:6 And in the end of years they shall
join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to
the king of the north to make an agreement: but
she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm:
but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her,
and he that strengthened her in these times.
27-11:7 But out of a branch of her roots
shall one stand up in his estate,
which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and
shall prevail:
27-11:8 And shall also carry captives into
Egypt their gods, with their princes, and
with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
27-11:9 So the king
of the south shall come into his kingdom,
and shall return into his own land.
27-11:11 And the king
of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with
him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great
multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
27-11:13 For the king
of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the
former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with
much riches.
27-11:14 And in those times there shall many
stand up against the king of the south: also the
robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they
shall fall.
27-11:15 So the king
of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities:
and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people,
neither shall there be any strength
to withstand.
27-11:25 And he shall stir up his power and
his courage against the king of the south with a
great army; and the king of the south shall be
stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand:
for they shall forecast devices against him.
27-11:36 And the king
shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself
above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and
shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined
shall be done.
27-11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a
whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall
enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
28-1:1 The word of the LORD that came unto
Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the
days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of
Israel.
28-3:4 For the children of Israel shall
abide many days without a king, and without a
prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and
without teraphim:
28-3:5 Afterward shall the children of
Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the
latter days.
28-5:1 Hear ye this, O priests; and
hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is
toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon
Tabor.
28-5:13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and
Judah saw his wound, then went
Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb:
yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
28-7:3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with
their lies.
28-7:5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with
scorners.
28-8:10 Yea, though they have hired among
the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the
burden of the king of princes.
28-10:3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should
a king do to us?
28-10:6 It shall be also carried unto
Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel
shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
28-10:7 As
for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam
upon the water.
28-10:15 So shall Bethel do unto you because
of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king
of Israel utterly be cut off.
28-11:5 He shall not return into the land of
Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king,
because they refused to return.
28-13:10 I will be thy king: where is any other that
may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
28-13:11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him
away in my wrath.
30-1:1 The words of Amos, who was among
the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of
Joash king of Israel, two years before the
earthquake.
30-1:15 And their king
shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
30-2:1 Thus saith the LORD; For three
transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
30-7:10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel
sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos
hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is
not able to bear all his words.
32-3:6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he
laid his robe from him, and covered him with
sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
32-3:7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of
the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man
nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
33-2:13 The breaker is come up before them: they
have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and
their king shall pass before them, and the LORD
on the head of them.
33-4:9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king
in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in
travail.
33-6:5 O my people, remember now what
Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam
the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the
righteousness of the LORD.
34-3:18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered
upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
36-1:1 The word of the LORD which came
unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the
son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king
of Judah.
36-3:15 The LORD hath taken away thy
judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king
of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not
see evil any more.
37-1:1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the
month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son
of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high
priest, saying,
37-1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the
sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
38-7:1 And it came to pass in the fourth
year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;
38-9:5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and
Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king
shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
38-9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of
Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King
cometh unto thee: he is just, and
having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an
ass.
38-11:6 For I will no more pity the
inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every
one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will
not deliver them.
38-14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the
valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye
fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king
of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and
all the saints with thee.
38-14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be
one LORD, and his name one.
38-14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the
nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep
the feast of tabernacles.
38-14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all
the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no
rain.
39-1:14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth
unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a
great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name
is dreadful among the heathen.
40-1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king
begat Solomon of her that had been the
wife of Urias;
40-2:1 Now when Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
40-2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the
east, and are come to worship him.
40-2:3 When Herod the king had heard these
things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
40-2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw
in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young
child was.
40-5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his
footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
40-14:9 And the king
was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at
meat, he commanded it to be given her.
40-18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven
likened unto a certain king, which would take
account of his servants.
40-21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and
sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
40-22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a
certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
40-22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he
was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and
burned up their city.
40-22:11 And when the king
came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding
garment:
40-22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away,
and cast him into outer darkness;
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
40-25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed
of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world:
40-25:40 And the King
shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done
it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me.
40-27:11 And Jesus stood before the governor:
and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King
of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
40-27:29 And when they had platted a crown of
thorns, they put it upon his head,
and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked
him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
40-27:37 And set up over his head his
accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF
THE JEWS.
40-27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot
save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now
come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
41-6:14 And king
Herod heard of him; (for his name was
spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and
therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
41-6:22 And when the daughter of the said
Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the
king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever
thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
41-6:25 And she came in straightway with
haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will
that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
41-6:26 And the king
was exceeding sorry; yet for his
oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
41-6:27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be
brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
41-15:2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou
sayest it.
41-15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying,
Will ye that I release unto you the King of the
Jews?
41-15:12 And Pilate answered and said again
unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of
the Jews?
41-15:18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
41-15:26 And the superscription of his
accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE
JEWS.
41-15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may
see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
42-1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the
king of Judaea, a certain priest named
Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
42-14:31 Or what king,
going to make war against another king, sitteth
not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him
that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
42-19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name
of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
42-23:2 And they began to accuse him,
saying, We found this fellow perverting
the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is
Christ a King.
42-23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art
thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him
and said, Thou sayest it.
42-23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
42-23:38 And a superscription also was written
over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
43-1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto
him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King
of Israel.
43-6:15 When Jesus therefore perceived that
they would come and take him by force, to make him a king,
he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
43-12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went
forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in
the name of the Lord.
43-12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold,
thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
43-18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment
hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
43-18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art
thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest
that I am a king. To this end was I born, and
for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the
truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
43-18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should
release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you
the King of the Jews?
43-19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
43-19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to
release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art
not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king
speaketh against Caesar.
43-19:14 And it was the preparation of the
passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
43-19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
43-19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
43-19:21 Then said the chief priests of the
Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews;
but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
44-7:10 And delivered him out of all his
afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and
all his house.
44-7:18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
44-12:1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
44-13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a
man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
44-13:22 And when he had removed him, he
raised up unto them David to be their king; to
whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own
heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
44-17:7 Whom Jason hath received: and these
all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
44-25:13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute
Festus.
44-25:14 And when they had been there many
days, Festus declared Paul’s cause unto the king,
saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
44-25:24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with
us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with
me, both at Jerusalem, and also here,
crying that he ought not to live any longer.
44-25:26 Of whom I have no certain thing to
write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and
specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that,
after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
44-26:2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this
day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
44-26:7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
44-26:13 At midday, O king,
I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining
round about me and them which journeyed with me.
44-26:19 Whereupon, O king
Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
44-26:26 For the king
knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded
that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a
corner.
44-26:27 King
Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
44-26:30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they
that sat with them:
47-11:32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas
the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a
garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
54-1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
54-6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
58-7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met
Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
58-7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth
part of all; first being by interpretation King
of righteousness, and after that also King of
Salem, which is, King of peace;
58-11:27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not
fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured,
as seeing him who is invisible.
60-2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance
of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king,
as supreme;
60-2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath
his name Apollyon.

servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just
and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
66-17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb,
and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
66-19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
